Building Integrated wind energy system design
Project Description
The project "Building Integrated Wind Energy System Design" aims to create an innovative and efficient wind energy solution tailored for the HKUST campus. This initiative focuses on developing smart, low-noise wind turbines that enhance the campus's sustainability efforts while providing a practical learning environment for undergraduate students. By integrating wind energy systems into the campus infrastructure, we aspire to demonstrate the potential of renewable energy technologies in urban settings.
