Norwin A/S Recieves New Wind Turbine Order for The Lighthouse Building in Dubai   Copenhagen, Denmark, November 2, 2007 -- Last week, the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) announced their design for a 66-story office tower nicknamed ‘The Lighthouse.’ Conceptualized by Atkins Middle East, The Lighthouse strives to make low carbon commercial towers a reality in Dubai by reducing the total energy consumption up to 65% and water consumption up to 40%. The height and shape of The Lighthouse play pivotal roles in its goals for low energy consumption, allowing for the instillation of three enormous 225 KW NORWIN A/S wind turbines (29 meters in diameters), and 4,000 photovoltaic panels on the south facing façade. The Lighthouse will contain over 84,000 square meters of commercial space and will also include parking, a convention center, retail, and an environmental visitor center and park connected to the DIFC central spine. Great importance has been placed on the building’s impact on local and global resources. Still only in development, plans are in place for all materials in the tower to be selected from sustainable sources. Atkins hopes that The Lighthouse will serve as a working prototype for future low carbon towers in the region, promoting more sustainable developments. Norwin A/S is pleased to be a key early leader as Dubai is taking a lead in regional wind power research. A further study is being carried out for Dubai for a $1 billion wind farm project. The research is on wind as alternative source for power in the region and is on a grand scale, aiming to supply up to 10% of Dubai city's power. The scope of work involves the meteorological study, design, supply, installation and operation of 70 metre high wind turbines. The UAE - with growing demand for power which it is unable to meet from gas alone, along with pressures to reduce CO2 emissions - is leading the way in looking seriously at alternative energy sources.
