That 18kW = 60% of energy needs seemed off. - BK Sat, 02 Feb 2008 13:11:10 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/1335#comment-9518 For anyone in or visiting NYC, the Center for Architecture in Greenwich Village has just opened an exhibit on the Bank of America Tower that includes materials discussing LEED certification requirements as well as the construction of the Bank of America Tower.

Maybe that's greener? It's good that new building are built with the environment in mind - but building a new building takes a lot of energy too... - Pelle Sat, 02 Feb 2008 05:35:53 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/architecture/1335#comment-9507 I think you misread that press release. They were describing the steps they took for Platinum LEED certification at a branch they opened in Adelanto, CA this past December. The Bank of America Tower in Manhattan, which they are also going for Platinum certification on, is still not completed. When it is, being one of the tallest building in the country, it will require many times more electricity than can be provided from 18kW of solar panels. - Steve Fri, 01 Feb 2008 22:53:40 +0100
