Wind Turbines On Campus at ACT

By Nikos, Kostas, Apostolos & Maria



Introduction

Power efficiency on a campus should be sustainable. The future commands energy conservation in every building and today technology offers several solutions. One of them is energy taken from windmills to support the needs of a college campus such as ACT. Clean energy from wind sports many advantages such as clean energy (zero carbon emissions) and also reducing energy costs in the long term. However installing a windmill is not such a simple procedure. It requires investing money time and also finding the proper place ( usually they are installed in high slopes to get the most out of the natural wind energy) for installation so as the windmills can produce sufficient energy for the campus. Weather conditions, aesthetics, law regulation and land usage should be considered before such an attempt. In US this trend seems to be receiving increasing adoption by educational institutions.
