Renewable Energy :

• Solar Energy is based on

Architectural Wind Power:

• The wind micro-turbines are designed specifically

for the urban environment: no need for a tower, the

blades rotate more slowly and silently, and they are

set at an angle that allows them to benefit from the

wind that is escalating the walls vertically.
