| Abstract | This paper explores how different building footprints and their orientation to one another maximize wind turbine performance providing some, if not all, of the power required by a building.; A wind tunnel test and a computer simulation have been conducted. Five different plan shapes have been built for use in the wind tunnel. Two identical, parallel towers of one shape are tested with a constant separation between them. Wind speed measurements are taken to calculate acceleration.; There are also Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations which have been completed. The CFD program analyzes how wind flows around a given object. Data can be collected after the tests to determine acceleration. The two different tests allow a comparison between the results to visually understand wind flow and acceleration.; Graphs, comparing wind acceleration to building orientation, have been produced. These graphs provide a simple to understand graphic for anyone to look at. |
