This presentation was part of a community engagement series of workshops held by the Dumbarton Road Corridor Environment Trust (DRCET) and Whiteinch & Scotstoun Housing Association to explore the potential of renewable energy technologies within their existing high rise building stock. This presentation is part of a series of MEARU research projects that investigated the use of wind turbine in urban environments. The context is the development of renewable energy in buildings in meeting UK and International targets for climate change, in particular energy generation on buildings.

This presentation is part of a series of research projects that investigated the use of wind turbine in urban environments. The context is the development of renewable energy in buildings in meeting UK and International targets for climate change, in particular energy generation on buildings. The work, originally funded by the Knowledge and Technology Transfer in the Built Environment, part of Scottish Executive’s SEEKIT programme to promote R&D and knowledge/technology transfer between SMEs and HEI’s. The presentation describes the design development of a wind turbine that can be integrated technically and visually onto buildings Grant-assisted pilot installation on the Newberry Tower, in Glasgow (the first city centre installation in Scotland).
