The Dynamic Tower, the world’s first building in motion, takes the concept of green
buildings to the next level were it will generate electricity for itself as well as other nearby buildings, making it the first skyscraper designed to be self powered.
The building generates electricity from wind turbines mounted horizontally between each floor, eighty story building will have up to seventy nine wind turbines, making it a true green power plant while traditional vertical wind turbines have some environmental negative impact, including obstruction of views and the need for roads to build and maintain them, the Dynamic Tower’s wind turbines are practically invisible and extremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fibre material they are made of.
Another environmentally green element of the Dynamic Tower is the photovoltaic cells that will be placed on the roof of each rotating floor to produce solar energy, approximately 20% of each roof will be exposed to the sun, so a building that has 80 roofs will equal the roofing space of 10 similar size buildings.
In addition, natural and recyclable materials including stone, marble, glass and wood will be used for the interior finishing. To further improve the energy efficiency of the Dynamic Tower, insulated glass and structural insulating panels will be employed.
Energy will also be saved during construction, which involves pre-fabricating individual units in a factory, this Fisher Method not only reduces construction time, but it also results
in a cleaner construction site with limited noise, dust, fumes and waste, the shorter building time also results in a less energy consumption than traditional construction methods.
With wind turbines fitted horizontally between each rotating floor, the 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbine systems, making it a truly green power plant. While traditional vertical wind turbines have environmental and social effects, including the need for roads to build and maintain them, in addition to the noise and the obstruction of views, the Dynamic Tower's wind turbines are practically invisible and extremely quiet due to their special shape and the carbon fiber material of which they are composed.
Photovoltaic ink is to be placed on each rotating floor to produce solar energy. With approximately 20% of each roof exposed to the sun and light, a building with 80 roofs provides the roofing space of more than 10 similar size buildings.
In addition, natural and recyclable materials including stone, marble, glass and wood are intended for the interior finishing. Further improving the energy efficiency of the Dynamic Tower, insulated glass and structural insulating panels are employed. During construction of the green tower, energy use is drastically reduced due to the prefabrication of the building in a factory, versus traditional construction methods, which results in a cleaner construction site with limited noise, dust, fumes and waste.
Sustainable architecture
Dynamic buildings are a result of a decade-long experience in the research of innovative building components, capable of interacting with climate conditions and regulating energy flows through the building surface.The “intelligent” building is thus one whose external components become elements of thermal self-regulation, ensuring indoor comfort while reducing energy consumption.
Research on the “Smart Envelope” has been successfully tested on a number of projects of Dynamic Team members, in collaboration with research institutes and universities, now ready to be rolled out on an industrial scale.
The application of the “Smart Envelope” technology is therefore a key factor of the Rotating Tower's energetic self-sufficiency, by significantly lowering the building's energy requirements.
