Performance assessment of tall building-integrated wind turbines
However, due to generally weak wind condition in Guangzhou, the estimated power outputs from the four building-integrated wind turbines are relatively low. Nevertheless, it is expected that the incorporation of wind turbines into high-rise buildings will have considerable potential to contribute a significant part of energies required by tall
Optimum design parameters for a venturi-shaped roof to maximize
Venturi-shaped roofs provide advantageous wind conditions for efficiently operating building-integrated wind turbines without losing usable floor area. Despite these advantages, venturi-shaped roofs have been sparsely adopted for buildings due to the lack of understanding of their optimum designs to maximize the performance of building
