Adobe Systems Installs 20 Windspire Wind Turbines at LEED Platinum Headquarters

Windspire — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:39:37 +0000

While most of the world was enjoying a respite during the week leading up to the new year, our team was hard at work installing 20 Windspire wind turbines at the LEED Platinum certified headquarters of Adobe Systems in San Jose, California.

Windspres Power Adobe Systems

Adobe, a dedicated champion of sustainability, chose the Windspire turbines for their thin profile, beautiful design and silent operation. The turbines are installed on the sixth floor roof of a garage that sits between two larger buildings. The two larger buildings create a wind tunnel effect, providing ample wind resources for the turbines.

Once the installation is fully completed, the energy generated from the Windspires will provide power to electric car charging stations in the garage and to the famous San Jose Semaphore.

Alternative Consumer: Windspire Wind Turbine now atop Museum of Science, Beantown

“Mariah Power is participating in the nation’s first rooftop Wind Turbine Lab at the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts, with the installation of one of itsWindspire vertical axis wind turbines on the Museum’s rooftop. Windspire is the only vertical axis turbine participating in the Wind Turbine Lab, which will include five different brands of wind turbines of varying size and power capacity. Mariah Power joined the project to better understand the viability of rooftop turbine installations in urban settings.

The Wind Turbine Lab provides a fresh scientific approach to monitoring the performance of multiple types of wind turbines mounted in turbulent rooftop locations. The lab will provide data on energy output, wind conditions, and turbine efficiency.”
