Affordable rooftop wind power is now available for your building. Today, wind energy is used to generate electricity that powers millions of American homes and businesses. Wind power is also widely recognized as one of the most desirable and fastest-growing sources of clean and renewable energy. Until now however, the growth of wind power that we truly need to meet our growing energy demands has been limited by the cost prohibitive nature of current solutions.

The team at Building Turbines realized the need for a reliable rooftop wind turbine that effectively dealt with the structural and mechanical issues and provided the customer a unique, innovative, and compelling way to make clean renewable power on-site. We recognize America’s need to move forward with deployment of wind energy solutions that help us all reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and preserve the environment.

The BTI turbine is designed for mounting onto flat commercial rooftops and its’ innovative and patented design is ideal for urban settings.

The turbine can help office buildings, schools, warehouses, distribution centers, airports, hotels, and a variety of other buildings offset electricity purchased from the grid by creating it on-site from the wind. The turbine creates reliable, cost-effective and clean renewable electricity with little building modification required.

Building Turbines' horizontal-axis wind turbines ("HAWT") easily mount onto commercial buildings and turn historically dead space into power producing real estate. The uni-directional design rests on HVAC-style curbs and is mounted along the roof's edge next to the parapet wall.

The turbine takes full advantage of what is called a "parapet vortex" which naturally occurs as wind accelerates up the side of a building and crests over the roof top edge. The axis of the turbine is centered in this vortex capturing maximum electrical power generation capability from the wind.
