From the above graphs it can be interpreted that as more turbine are insalled there is a linear increase in CO2 savings per annum
It can also been seen that the amount of power derived from the turbines facing due west is greater than for the turbines facing due south
It is estimated that the maximum amount of turbines that could be installed on the building at the Rottenrowsite is 14 facing due west and 14 facing due south
Combining the amount of electricity generated from 600 BP585 modules, 14 ducted turbines facing due south and 14 ducted turbines facing due west
