1. Subject of the invention

The invention concerns a construction system that integrates one or more wind turbines within a building.
The system mainly uses structural elements already present in the building, integrating them with dedicated solutions for air ducting, turbine housing, and airflow management, without the need for visible external installations.

The system is scalable and adaptable from single-family houses up to multi-storey and high-rise buildings.

2. Technical problem solved

Small-scale wind solutions applied to civil buildings are currently poorly adopted due to technical and regulatory limitations, including:
• visual impact, which often prevents installation in urban, historic, or landscape-protected areas
• low overall productivity, making such systems economically unattractive
• poor performance in weak wind conditions, typical of urban environments
• difficulties in managing strong winds and gusts, leading to shutdowns or operational inefficiencies

The invention overcomes these limitations by integrating the wind system within the building envelope, making it not visible, and by controlling the airflow through a system of ducting that enables efficient and controlled energy generation in both weak and strong wind conditions.

3. Advantages over existing technologies

Compared to traditional wind solutions applied to buildings, the invention offers the following main advantages:
• no visual impact, allowing potential use even in landscape-protected or historically constrained areas where wind turbines and solar panels are typically not permitted
• improved utilisation of weak winds, thanks to controlled airflow ducting
• efficient management of strong winds, ensuring continuity of energy production even during gusts
• reduced economic impact, as the system mainly relies on building components and volumes already present
• high adaptability and scalability, suitable for different building types and urban contexts

Thanks to these features, the invention represents an innovative solution for integrating wind energy into civil buildings, overcoming the main limitations that have so far hindered the widespread adoption of such technologies.
