More architectural wonders from the world of eco living. This massive building is being built in Dubai, and each floor rotates indipendantly of the others. In between each floor is a set wind turbine, allowing this building to not only power itself, but many more things aswell. I'm not quite there with understanding kwh, but the building is expected to produce approx 1,200,000kwh.
Now, I am not sure how much will be spare. But to put into perspective, the average london home uses under 600kwh a month, so that is 7200kwh a year. This means that the building creates enough energy for approx 166 london homes, I dare say a large amount of this will be used by itself, but that is an incredible number to be throwing about, hopefully this catches on to other designs in this world (and maybe the UK government will stop preaching, and start doing something big, incredible, and inspiring about this issue).
