The Broyhill Inn and Conference Center has offered its hospitality to Appalachian visitors for many years, and has recently become home to Appalachian REI’s Northwind 100 Wind Turbine. According to Broyhill Manager Doug Uzelac, the reaction of guests to the new turbine has been overwhelmingly positive. Fact sheets offered in the lobby inform guests about the power production capabilities of the turbine, and also let guests know about other energy savings and environmentally aware actions the Broyhill is taking.
