Rouen Habitat
Rouen
Rouen Habitat, the Public Housing of Rouen having a rental stock of more than 8,000 dwellings, worked with WIND my ROOF within the framework of its landlord’s strategic energy plan to limit its environmental impact. Initiated by the President of the Rouen metropolitan area, this pilot project of eight WindBoxes installed on the Capricorne building which houses 84 homes on 10 floors combined all the necessary criteria for an installation: exposure to the wind, height and moderate urban density.
The implementation of these WindBoxes has significantly contributed to the building's energy efficiency, reducing reliance on conventional power sources. By harnessing wind energy in an urban setting, the project not only cuts down on energy costs but also helps lower carbon emissions, aligning with Rouen Habitat's sustainability objectives.
It is able to exploit the wind that goes up along the facades of buildings to recover a maximum of energy. Thanks to its modular characteristic, this solution enables the multiplication of production sources to obtain significant electrical production, quite comparable to that of photovoltaic solar panels. A WindBox can produce as much electrical energy as ten square metres of solar panels and can complement them. Quick and easy to install, it is designed and fixed to limit its noise disturbances and vibrations.
