Solar and Wind Power
Harnessing natural, fuel-less energy has been a commodity since the inception of architecture and technology. Orienting buildings to track the sun's... direction is an ideal way to make the most out of the sun's energy. The majority of our solar usage is often seen in wind power and biomass. Biomass is used as fuel alternative to solar energy in the form of wood, coal, petroleum, and solar radiation resources. We have been able to yield this energy through the construction of solar panels and related structural designs.more
