Transforming traditional architecture

The highly innovative building concept of the Energy Tower is based on the analysis of the so-called wind towers as part of the traditional Arabian architecture. In a region with temperatures reaching 50°C, wind towers provide an entirely ecological ventilation by using the energy of the wind only.

The wind towers are transforming the hot wind into a cooling breeze inside the houses and thus maximise indoor comfort. The Energy Tower transfers these principles into the modern structure of a 60-story high-rise building by using the energy of the wind for the ventilation of the entire building.

Thus any mechanical ventilation system becomes obsolete. By these and further means, energy consumption is reduced down to 40 percent of a common high rise.
