Three Giant Turbine Installation Process
Three Giant Turbine
This building is the first skyscraper in the world to use the power turbine. Each turbine has a 19KW power has 5 blades that will reduce noise during operation. The function of this turbine is to generate its own energy resources. While it is equipped with vibration dampers will keep buildings standing firm on earth. Skyscrapers are also included green buildings, such as exclusive use of natural ventilation, high-performance glass and energy efficiency.
