energy efficiency: Manitoba Hydro Building
wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitoba_Hydro_Place
Manitoba Hydro Place received LEED Platinum certification in May 2012, making it the most energy efficient office tower in North America
The building's bioclimatic, energy-efficient design features a 377 ft (115 m) tall solar chimney, a geo-thermal HVAC system using 280 five-inch tubes bored 380 feet into an underground aquifer,[10] 100% fresh air (24 hours a day, year round, regardless of outside temperature)[8] and a one-meter-wide double exterior wall with computer-controlled motorized vents that adjust the building's exterior skin throughout the day and evening. Together, the various elements of the design enable a 70% energy savings over a typical large office tower.
