Turbines on the roofs of homes in the tropics are often used to harness wind energy for power generation. The consistent wind patterns in the tropics make it an ideal location for wind turbines. Placing turbines on rooftops can also help maximize space efficiency and take advantage of higher wind speeds at higher elevations.

Why is loft insulation used for homes?
Loft insulation is used in homes to help reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, and lower heating costs. It acts as a barrier to prevent heat from escaping through the roof, keeping the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
What standard building techniques are used to ensure that structures can withstand force placed upon them egthe force from the weight of snow on a roof?
Standard building techniques to ensure that structures can withstand forces like snow loads on a roof include using appropriate roof pitch angles to allow snow to slide off, reinforcing roof framing with trusses or rafters, and ensuring proper insulation to prevent ice dams. Additionally, engineers may specify snow load calculations and structural design requirements to meet building code standards for snow load resistance.
How does Bernoulli and principle explain how wind can take the roof off a house?
The Bernoulli principle states that as wind flows over a roof, the pressure is lower above the roof compared to below it. This pressure difference creates lift, which can exert an upward force on the roof. If the force of the wind exceeds the strength of the roof's structure, it can cause the roof to lift off the house.
How do you power produce?
Renewable energy technologies like wind turbines, solar panels and biomass heaters offer an alternative to fossil fuels and can help reduce your homes CO2 emissions.There are financial benefits too. Investing in a renewable energy technology now basically means pre-buying energy at today's prices for a future where energy may cost a lot more. If fuel prices rise, your pay back would happen even sooner.
What materials are used in loft insulation?
Common materials used in loft insulation include fiberglass, mineral wool, cellulose, and foam boards. These materials are effective at reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency in homes by trapping heat and preventing it from escaping through the roof.
How many wind turbines in an average house?
None actually, Homes do not use wind turbines and if they did they would be on the roof rather than inside :-)
Can solar panels be placed on a mobile homes roof?
Yes, they can.. You need to have them installed an wired properly though
Do they make covers for roof wind turbines?
Only some do

depending on if your replacing drip edge, turbines flashing etc... and the roof pitch ann how many stories. 170.00-230.00
How was the homes made in Ancient China?
They used rammed and thatch on the roof and sides :)
Why do many homes in Arizona have AC units on the roof?
Answer Arizona roof air These are probably evaporative coolers, also called swamp coolers. They cool by evaporation. In dry climates they are very effective. They cost almost nothing to operate. Cool air falls and by being on the roof the unit is exposed to the sun for the longest time. --- Az resident editing this to clarify the answer given. Yes, many homes have "swamp coolers" on the roof and for the reason given. However, many homes built in the 80s and 90s also had the AC unit/heat pump on their roofs. I have two units on my two story homes roof.
