In early September, Building Turbines, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLDW), a
designer and manufacturer of commercial rooftop wind turbine
systems and other renewable energy technologies, welcomed a team of
seniors from The University of Texas at Austin Mechanical
Engineering program to go to school on the company's two rooftop
mounted wine turbines.
For over a year the renewable energy equipment has been quietly
spinning in the warm Texas breezes, generating electricity from
their perch atop of a five-story office tower located at 7703 North
Lamar in Austin, where Building Turbines headquarters. This week,
after more than two months of evaluation, measurement, study and
assessment, three engineering students provided their findings and
recommendations in a final report delivered to Building Turbines
management.
"Tremendous work!" said John Graham, president and CEO of
Building Turbines, Inc. "The effort put forth by this team of
students exceeded our expectations. From the students' work, we are
in a better position now to collect valuable data that measures the
amount of electricity generated at various wind speeds and
direction, which are critical factors when projecting energy
savings as well as return on investment realized by our turbines.
We are sincerely grateful for the students' dedication to this
project and the professional approach adopted by the team from the
start of the project," said Graham.
Christopher Standford, who on behalf of Building Turbines
mentored the students through the engineering project, said, "We
challenged the students with evaluating and solving some pretty
high-level issues, and they rose to the task. Each of these
students has a bright future. They and their school should feel
proud to have completed a project that contributed to the body of
knowledge and understanding of this complex green energy technology
and bring it one step closer to large scale production."
