Wouldn’t it be great to work in a building designed to produce as much energy as it uses? That captures heat given off by computer servers to heat the building? That has specially designed windows that reflect light upward to the ceiling to reduce electricity used for lighting? There is such a building and The New York Times has the story.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
That is some awesome, happy news. Thanks for the link. Since the ecomonomic benefits of such buildings are straightforward, hopefully this sort of thing will catch on.
