Wind has been used as an energy source since ages. The power of wind was used to sail ships. to mill grain and to pump water. Wind power is currently considered as one of the most viable alternatives to fossil fuels because it is renewable. widely distributed and clean with no greenhouse gas emissions produced during operation. In most cases. the energy of the wind is harnessed through large wind-power plants to supply economical clean power. However. in urban and suburban areas. the land is limited and this is considered a major restriction for the installation of large plants. An alternative option is to resort to buildingintegrated wind energy systems. Much less attention has been given to wind energy installations near buildings (Campbell and Stankovic. 2001. Beller. 2009. Sharpe and Proven. 2010). The concept of on-site micro wind energy generation is interesting because the energy is then produced close to the location where it is required
