Iberdrola Tower
Iberdrola Tower (Bilbao, Spain) represents the zero mile of renewable energy. It has an imposing 165-metre-high glass structure and contains 5,000 automated sun blinds. There are up to 500 luminaires on each floor. Monitoring and control of standard lights comprises automatic and manual light level adjustment, time depending on profiles like occupancy, cleaning, and nightkeeping, alarms on lamp or ballast failures, and running hours.
The Green Library
The Green Library (Taipei’s Beitou Park, Taiwan) is a two-story building designed to reduce water and electricity consumption thanks to its large windows. The roof is partially covered with photovoltaic cells to generate energy and also collects rainwater for use in the toilets.
The California Academy of Sciences
The California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco, USA) was completely reconstructed in 2008. The new building recycles rainwater, uses photovoltaic panels, makes the most of natural lighting, and has a one-hectare green roof containing millions of plants native to California.
Pixel Building
Pixel Building (Melbourne, Australia) is Australia’s first carbon-neutral office building. Emerging as a prototype office of the future, it has a green roof with solar panels to produce its own energy, and it stores all the water it needs. Its unusual multicoloured façade makes it possible to take advantage of ventilation and natural lighting to minimise energy consumption.
