Building-Integrated Wind Power System

[Category : - Construction Processes & Equipment- ELECTRICITY & LIGHTING- RENEWABLE ENERGY]
[Viewed 47 times]

The invention introduces an integrated construction concept in which the building itself becomes an active part of the wind-energy harvesting system. Unlike traditional wind solutions installed externally and outside the building envelope, the system enables more efficient, controlled, and continuous management of airflow, making it particularly suitable for complex urban contexts.

To achieve this, the system integrates converging ducts to increase local airflow velocity under weak to moderate wind conditions, and adopts inlet regulation devices (adjustable louvers) that modulate the air flow up to full closure in the presence of strong winds. This allows the maximization of annual operating hours within the productive range while simultaneously improving operational continuity and gust management compared to non-ducted wind installations.

The system is designed to make predominant use of structural elements already present in standard building construction (roofs, intermediate floors, cavities), significantly limiting the overall economic impact and facilitating integration into construction and renovation processes.

1) Key Features

- Full integration within the building, with no visible external installations

- Higher efficiency (typically +100% to +300% energy production) and improved controllability compared to traditional external wind systems

- Compatibility with urban planning, historical, and landscape constraints

- Applicable to new constructions and renovation projects, from roof retrofits to more substantial building refurbishments

- Scalability: from residential buildings to multi-storey structures

- A solution designed for real-world construction, not as an auxiliary add-on device

The indicated percentage increases are based on preliminary and comparative estimates, taking into account real wind conditions, turbulence, and pressure losses, and are intended for indicative purposes only.

2) Competitive Advantage

The value of the invention does not lie in a single turbine, but in the integrated construction logic that makes wind energy more easily integrable, more controllable, and better suited to urban buildings than conventional technologies.

This approach enables potential partners to:

- differentiate themselves in the market;

- integrate wind energy even where visible solutions are not permitted;

- develop proprietary systems that are difficult to replicate without infringing the patent.

3) Intellectual Property Status

- Granted Italian invention patent

- Single owner: inventor

- No exclusive licenses granted

- Technology not yet commercialized

4) Collaboration Opportunities

The following options are being considered:

- full assignment of the patent;

- licensing with royalties;

- industrial partnerships or co-development agreements, depending on the strategy of the interested partner.

Economic terms, any exclusivity, and territorial scope will be defined during negotiations.

Financial information

A granted Italian invention patent is available for outright sale, licensing, or industrial partnership, relating to an innovative system for integrating wind energy within buildings.
