Although these turbines were designed to minimize vibration and noise‚ they are but a small variation on windmills used in wind farms‚ and therefore the budget required to be devoted to scientific research was minimal. The 3 windmills running at full capacity can provide between 11 and 15% of the energy the building demands‚ which amounts to between 1100 to 1300 megawatts per year.
