1. A system comprising:
a hot air vent extending about a heat source, the hot air vent configured to produce an air flow by directing air heated by the heat source to rise upward along the hot air vent;
at least one wind turbine arranged at a top of the hot air vent, the at least one wind turbine configured to be operated by the heated air rising upward along the hot air vent;
a cooling unit mounted to a ceiling above the hot air vent and configured to cool the heated air rising from the hot air vent and to direct the cooled air down an alley about the heat source producing the air circulation in the alley; and
a space adjacent to the ceiling, the space configured to receive the heated air exiting the at least one wind turbine and to direct the heated air to the cooling unit.
