Abstract

Wind power is being harnessed and converted to electrical power at the University of Regina. The U of R and Innovation Place installed a 3.5kW Cleanfield Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) on the penthouse roof of 2 Research Drive on Global Wind Day, June 15. "The installation of this turbine is symbolic of the University's efforts to address sustainability in research and learning," said Garth Pickard, professor at the University of Regina. "It demonstrates the University's institutional role in addressing sustainability through alternative energy practice."
