Introduction: building of the future). A magnificent and a profitable wind turbine will be the bench mark of this project. • As energy prices increase, companies are looking for alternative sources that are cheap and productive. These corporate giants want an aesthetically pleasing wind turbine that can also be relied on as a significant source of power. Furthermore, the wind turbines should be able to return the companies investments in a timely fashion. After this time, these sources of power will turn into sources of revenue from all the excess energy produced. Design Specifications: • Wind Turbine: • Architecturally integrated, doesn’t look like an afterthought • Design is acceptable for either new construction or retrofitting (ideally both) • Return on investment (ROI) is timely • System should utilize “small wind” approach (multiple smaller models) • Utilize existing technology or “develop your own • Chose a building location in the Northeast U.S. Mission Statement: Prototype Final Design: • The objective of this project was to create an architecturally integrated commercial wind turbine. First a viable and effective wind turbine must be developed to generate power. Then a building in the North East must be chosen on which the turbine can be seamlessly integrated into the architecture of the current building (or a
