An Evaluation of Building Integrated Wind Energy
Microgeneration of energy is one of the major research areas in the sustainability field. While there are multifaceted benefits in the generation of energy locally, the scales of economy and underestimation of difficulties in practical application hinders the uptake. Microgeneration through wind energy is no exception. While the history of wind energy proliferation shows an increasing trend of bigger and higher capacity installations in remote locations, architects and planners kept on envisioning the integration of single miniaturized turbines on buildings as the future of smart cities. Including few iconic examples, the application of wind turbines on building roofs has not proved success. In this paper, a review of microgeneration issues and potential technologies for a breakthrough will be presented. The authors aim to propose a distributed wind energy harvesting system embedded in building fa(c)ades that also works as a ventilation device at different modes.
