It is
the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the
building...!!
Three large wind turbines are suspended between
two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically
tapered to funnel wind
and draw air into the turbines.
This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular
angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide
turbine rotors.
The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper
- approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes..!!
