About this asset

This vertical axis wind electric generator Revit family is a technical asset for renewable energy integration in site design. This vertical axis wind turbine features a cylindrical rotor assembly supported by a central mast. The design utilizes a series of vertical aerofoil-shaped blades mounted between two circular frames, resembling a modified bicycle wheel structure. A lateral arm extends from the main support, housing the mechanical generator component. The geometry is clean and utilitarian, finished in neutral grey and black tones. The base is represented by a simple concrete-style plinth, providing a stable footing for the vertical assembly, making it suitable for architectural site models and renewable energy feasibility studies.

The download is a 2.2 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this component into a Revit project as a generic model or electrical equipment family. Users can place the turbine on a site plan or roof level, adjusting the height of the central mast to suit specific ground or mounting conditions. It is best used for visualising renewable energy installations in site massing models. Ensure the model is rotated correctly to align with prevailing wind directions if used for analytical site planning or schematic design presentations.

Ideal for residential, small-scale industrial, or off-grid project site plans, this asset helps architects and engineers convey sustainable design intent. It pairs effectively with solar array families or other green technology components when designing eco-conscious masterplans. Professionals searching for site-specific renewable energy equipment, wind power hardware, or sustainable infrastructure assets will find this model useful for early-stage conceptual layouts, site analysis documentation, and client presentations regarding alternative energy integration in modern building projects.
