Green Wind Power Tower in Argentina
Latin America already has the first green building, the Céfira Tower, located on Mar del Plata, a seaside town in Buenos Aires province, Argentina.
The building has been named after Cérifo, the Greek god of the winds because it can get power form the sea wind thanks to a windmill placed on the flat roof. The turbine can generate 4,5 kilowatts of wind power, more than enough to cover the needs of the share spaces.
Besides the wind generator, the tower makes the most of the sunlight, because 80% of the facade is pure glass. The building also has intelligent lights that automatically turn off when they aren’t needed.
