With rising developers, there is dearth of greenery around us as all the empty land is being eaten by real estate developers and converted in big structures, helping them mint money. But the story of killing nature doesn’t end there. In fact it starts from there. The dwellers cannot compromise at their lifestyle and thus consumes lot of electric power, the scarcity of which is seen as a basic problem.

But you would be surprised to know that at the same time there is a growing consciousness about saving environment and less use of energy. Developers have plans to utilize wind and solar power for erecting high-rise buildings. The Clean Technology Tower concept created by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill recommends the positioning of wind turbines at the corners of the structure to bind the high-velocity winds that hasten about the top of the tower.

A vaulted dual roof crater located at the summit of the tower will guide the wind towards a lot of wind turbines mounted at lower levels. Idea is to use the negative force shaped by the turbines to aerate internal spaces inside the structure while the field itself will be sheltered by solar cells that will focus on imprisoning the southern sun. It includes 1.8 million square feet of office space along with a 300,000 sq ft hotel, spa and street-level retail rounding off the complex.
