The propeller-free, vertical-axis wind turbine is designed to harness wind power in urban, suburban and rural locations.<\/p>\n<p>The new towers are located on Adobe\u2019s sixth\u2013floor patio, which doubles as a rooftop garden and recreational area above an office parking garage. Adobe\u2019s three office towers create a wind tunnel effect from sustained winds off the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe\u2019s green building efforts have earned the company the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usgbc.org\/\" >U.S. Green Building Council<\/a>\u2019s highest honors for green practices. Adobe is the first commercial office building to receive the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usgbc.org\/DisplayPage.aspx?CategoryID=19\" >Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design<\/a> LEED\u00ae-EB Platinum certification for its San Jose headquarters and is the world\u2019s first commercial enterprise to achieve a total of four Platinum certifications under the LEED program.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2001, Adobe estimates it has saved approximately $6.7 million as a result of its energy and sustainability efforts. Those initiatives include energy-efficient lighting, real-time water meters for landscaping and an intelligent control system to help monitor building efficiencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windspire turbines.
