Both interdisciplinary education of and research in sustainable architecture and technology are addressed, with the prospect to expand the gained knowledge to practice and outreach.
READ MOREThe more familiar horizontal-axis turbines—which resemble propellers—produce energy more efficiently, but they take up more space and are harder to integrate architecturally. Each turbine rotates independently and is capable of producing up to 4.5kW of power. The Greenway Self Park''s two-way power meter allows the garage to
