Facts
|
Popular Science gave the building the title of the Best Engineering of What's New in 2005 for its being "The Most Amibitious Eco-Friendly SkyScraper" in the December 2005 edition. |
The tower has two spires, the 365.76 meter (1200 foot) one is architectural and the 292.61 meter (960 foot) one has a wind turbine that generates electricity for the building. |
The southern roof rises to 287.88 meters (944 feet 6 inches) and the northern roof rises to 258.47 meters (848 feet). |
Features a 5 MW on-site gas generator with heat capture which provides the building with two thirds of its annual energy requirements. |
The building is clad with an aluminium-framed curtain wall with high transparency, low emission insulating glass. |
The design was in part influenced by the New York Crystal Palace building erected in Bryant Park in 1853 which was America's first glass and steel building. |
Urinals are waterless which saves three million gallons of water per annum. |
