A Green Environmental Tower - Dubai

wei_loon5063

The Dynamic Architecture building, which will be constantly in motion changing its shape, will be able to generate electric energy for itself as well as for other buildings. Forty-eight wind turbines fitted between each rotating floors as well as the solar panels positioned on the roof of the building will produce energy from wind and the sunlight, with no risk of pollution. The total energy produced by this inbuilt 憄owerhouse' every year will be worth approximately seven million dollars. Each turbine can produce 0.3 megawatt of electricity, compared to 1-1.5 megawatt generated by a normal vertical turbine (windmill). Considering that Dubai gets 4,000 wind hours annually, the turbines incorporated into the building can generate 1,200,000 kilowatt-hour of energy. As average annual power consumption of a family is estimated to be 24,000 kilowatt-hour, each turbine can supply energy for about 50 families. The Dynamic Architecture tower in Dubai will be having 200 apartments and hence four turbines can take care of their energy needs. The surplus clean energy produced by the remaining 44 turbines can light up the neighborhood of the building. However, taking into consideration that the average wind speed in Dubai is of only 16 km/h the architects may need to double the number of turbines to light up the building to eight. Still there will be 40 free turbines, good enough to supply power for five skyscrapers of the same size. The horizontal turbines of the Dynamic Architecture building are simply inserted between the floors, practically invisible. They neither need a pole nor a concrete foundation. In addition, they are at zero distance from the consumer, which makes maintenance easier. The modern design of the building and the carbon fiber special shape of the wings take care of the acoustics issues. Producing that much electric energy without any implication on the aesthetic aspect of the building is a revolutionary step in tapping alternative energy sources. Furthermore, this energy will have a positive impact on the environment and economy.

cannot larr........still far in msia

If all the building in malaysia is green then TNB no business larr........

TNB no business then kerajaan no $$

kerajaan no money how to allow green building?

Actually I am a nature lover and I am no politcian and I can protest here n there...

In order to reach green, I can do my part well..... in engineering perspective... by designing green building if not then product then...

a cradle to cradle product

yeap,I t would be damn good if this building is in msia...

alternative...kalau takleh buat energy producing building
kita bleh buat energy efficient building
contoh cam NYT building that use daylighting technology

see: http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Artic ... D-NYT-building.html

dekat malaysia nih boleh je buat at least energy efficient building nih
because we have ample amount of lighting..
tapi itulaaa....orang ramai pun taktau pasal nih

pembangunan technology malaysia berkembang terlalu pesat.... pemikiran orang malaysia masih tak begitu matang...

kau boleh lihat orang guna technology terkini tapi ini tak tau itu tak tau...
