We present you a selection of the most environmentally-friendly architectural structures in the world.

Bahrain World Trade Center was built in Manama – capital of the Kingdom of Bahrain. This is the first in the history of architectural structure that uses wind energy.

Bahrain World Trade Centre is the second tallest building in Bahrain, after the double towers of the Bahrain Financial harbor. The project has passed several checks on compliance with the requirements of ecology. Two 50-storey building height of 240 meters interconnected three air bridges, which were installed 225 KW wind turbines. Total power generated their energy is 675 KW. Each of these turbines has a diameter of 29 m and sent to the north, since it is from the Persian Gulf, most days of the year the wind blows. Wind turbines are designed to produce 11% – 15% of the energy necessary towers, which is equivalent to the production of light for 300 homes for one year. Three turbines were first incorporated April 8, 2008.

Project developers were counting on the fact that he was the inspiration for the erection of similar structures that use renewable energy. Their hopes were justified. Also The Strata – new skyscraper in London, construction completion scheduled for April 2010. The project cost was £ 113 million.

In Britain, a law was passed, under which up to 2019 there should not be new buildings that would not be humane with respect to the environment. It is for this reason that the new project includes the installation of three wind turbines that are designed to provide about 8% of the energy consumed by the 42-story building height of 148 meters. In addition, the turbine skyscraper have five blades instead of the usual three, which must reduce the level of their noise.

Burj Al-Taqa – Energy is a tower designed for built in Dubai. The height of the skyscraper is 322 feet. The building includes a shopping and entertainment center, offices, residential apartments and hotel rooms. Construction is intended to provide themselves with electricity independently through wind turbines and photovoltaic panels.

Almeisan Tower – designed by the skyscraper, whose construction is planned in Dubai. This facility is absolutely will not consume energy and pollute the environment. This will be possible thanks to the generation of solar energy. Tower Almeisan able to produce 600 kW of solar energy that would be enough to contain not only the skyscraper, but also the adjacent park.

Anara Tower – it seems that does not pass and Delhi without any new projects in Dubai. Another super-building world-class – Skyscraper Anara. The tower’s height is about 700 meters. At 125 floors will house residential apartments, offices, retail areas, hotel, art gallery, pool and glass restaurant on the top of the building. But the main attraction of the Anara Tower will be the “heavenly” garden every 27 floors. The project is based implementation of systems development and use of wind and water.
