Abstract

The efficient integration of wind technology into a building - which called building integrated wind technology (BIWT) - will be necessary for substantial reduction of CO₂. However, the spread of this integration faces a major problem which is the absence of a framework that helps the architects to determine the suitable integration methods for their buildings. Therefore; an overview of some existing wind power technology for integrating WTs to the building is presented. The approaches are further discussed and evaluated in order to recognize the most suitable integrations for future WTs, and, finally, a conclusion is given as an essential step towards the scientific framework.
