“Green” features are built into building operations:

• District cooling and state-of-the-art energy management technologies maximize efficiency.
• The geometry of the tower and exterior glass fins reduce solar load.
• Energy-efficient light fixtures use minimal energy to operate.
• Light fixtures dim automatically depending on available natural light.
• Sensors dim lights when space is not occupied.
• Raised-floor air distribution increases efficiency and contributes to indoor air quality.
• The tower's geometry and glass walls allow abundant natural light in all areas.
