The Folly of Building-Integrated Wind

That was the title of an
article in Building Green back in 2009. As author, and most prolific contributor, Alex Wilson said at the time:
The appeal of integrating wind turbines into our buildings is strong.
Rooftops are elevated above ground, where it’s windier; the electricity
is generated right where it’s needed; and wind energy can make a strong
visual statement. Dozens of start-up wind turbine manufacturers have
latched onto this idea since it fits well with a strong public sentiment
to shift from fossil fuels to renewables....What’s not to like about it?
