Centerlines - June 2008 - (Page 21) ENVIRONMENT BOSTON TURNS TO TURBINES Turbines of a non-aviation sort have made their appearance at Boston Logan International Airport B Y C A ROL E S H I F R I N ind turbines—20 of them—stretch regally across the parapet of the roof of the three-story Logan Office Center in a demonstration project expected to provide about 2 percent of the building’s monthly energy use, about the equivalent of power required for 10 to 12 single-family homes. W “IT’S about producing some renewable energy and being environmentally responsible and starting to make some difference in our sustainability at Massport.” — Sam Sleiman, director of capital programs and environmental affairs, Massport The four-feet high wind turbines, each with five three-foot blades, capture wind power coming off Boston Harbor to contribute to the electricity needs of the building, which serves as Massport’s headquarters. Built to withstand winds of up to 120 mph, the turbines produce their maximum electricity at about 20 to 25 miles per hour, says Sam Sleiman, Massport’s director of capital programs and environmental affairs. But he adds they can produce electricity down to about 7 mph, which is common at the water’s-edge airport. The wind turbines, expected to provide electrical output of about 100,000 kilowatt hours a year for an annual savings of about $13,000, are visible from one of Logan’s terminal but mostly visible from the community across the harbor and the city of Boston. The building-integrated wind turbines are made by AeroVironment, continued on page 25 www.aci-na.org | CENTERLINES 21 http://www.aci-na.org
