Abstract: Small wind turbines are often sited in more complex environments than the open terrain sites assumed in relevant installation guidelines or in the international small wind turbine design standard IEC61400-2. The built environment is an example of such a complex environment and installation of small wind turbines on the rooftops of high buildings has been suggested by architects and project developers as a potential means of incorporating sustainable energy generation into building design. In the absence of guidelines for installing wind turbines in the built environment, two key wind measurement parameters are the rate at which a data acquisition system (DAQ) samples the sensor, and the period over which the sampled data is averaged.
