Bahrain Lanuches first commercially integrated wind turbines  

GoodCleanTech reports that the Bahrain World Trade Centre has launched the world's first commercially integrated wind turbines (an example of a bright green building).

These turbines are the first to be integrated on a commercial establishment and are expected to generate 11 to 15 percent of the whole structure's power. Of course, whether they will really turn out as much power is still subject to observation. Therefore, the next few months would be spent analyzing the output of the turbines as they work 50 percent of the time.

The elliptical shapes of the two buildings of the architecture funnel and even accelerate the wind towards the turbines. And there'll be no shortage of wind too, what with the Bahrain World Trade Center in direct path of the onshore breeze blowing from the Gulf coast. According to the project manager, the cost of turbines was reduced to 3.5 percent of the whole project's, which means that should the turbines work as expected, the project is financially viable.
