After looking at wind maps and finding that your zone is at least a 2 you have arrived at the get down to business question of how about my property?

The rules apply to businesses and residential locations. Wind is wind!  In some areas there are unique pockets where the wind is generally stronger.  The reasons vary.  Maybe all the buildings line up a certain way and your office is at the end so perhaps you can benefit from “wind block build up”.   This can create opportunity in areas that are generally not wind candidates otherwise.
You are going to be spending some money on your project and it pays to have knowledgable people provide an assessment.   We should really call this getting a second opinion because you should first use good old common sense and not get tied up on the idea you just have to have wind power.  Get a small weather station, preferrably one that has data logging capabilities you can have downloaded to a computer.  You may need several depending on your property size so you can help with exact site selection. Monitoring for a year is not a waste of time.

In some areas you may have limits on location placement so test those areas and drop it if the data says you couldn’t even fly a kite.  Get with your local weather station and see if they will help you with annual wind data.  In addition to your common sense you need to know factually what to expect all year long.  Data from a city 50 miles away is useless it needs to be local.

If you want assistance with finding someone to help you with a wind assessment drop us a comment and we will see what we can do.  Be sure to let us know where you are including zip code.
