Building Turbines is a renewable energy company chiefly engaged in designing, manufacturing, and deploying of rooftop-mounted horizontal-axis wind turbines. The company’s unique, patented product can bring the dream of clean, affordable wind energy into reality.
BTI’s turbine is mounted on a strong steel frame and has a low profile, low maintenance needs, and creates almost no noise or vibration. The company’s design has the advanced and robust structural, mechanical, and electrical characteristics that are particularly needful when mounting a renewable energy system onto the roof of a building.
The company’s horizontal-axis wind turbines mount easily onto commercial buildings with flat roofs, and the uni-directional design rests on HVAC-style curbs and is mounted next to the parapet wall along the roof’s edge. The turbine takes advantage of a “parapet vortex,” which naturally occurs as wind accelerates up a building’s side and crests over the edge of the rooftop. Centered on this vortex, the turbine’s axle rod captures the wind’s maximum electrical power generation capability.
BTI’s patented, innovative design creates reliable, cost-effective, clean onsite renewable electricity that is ideal for commercial applications. The company is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
