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.

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.

Its a single storey office biulding, 430MWH from the solar array on the roof.
Energy demand is about 300MWH/ yr
