1244 N. Clybourn Ave., Chicago, Illinois This installation features eight 520H Aeroturbines mounted horizontally to the roof of this 96-unit single-resident housing development. The building, designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects, is a fine example of building-integrated wind energy technology. The geometry and orientation of the building was designed specifically to increase the speed of the wind as it flows over the roof. Installed in August 2006. This is the only urban horizontal-axis wind turbine installation in the world, at this size. The building uses many renewable energy solutions. It has a gray water recycling system, a solar hot water system, a rain water collection operation, as well as 8 529H Aeroturbines. This installation remains a historic benchmark and testing platform for urban and sustainable architectural solutions for multi-family housing.
