Hearst Tower Location: New York,USFunctions: Offices

It is constructed using 85 % recycled steel and designed to consume 26% less energy than a building that minimally complies with the respective state and city energy codes. As a result, it is the first new occupied office building in the city to have been given a gold rating under the US Green Buildings Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.

Bank of America Tower

Location: New York,US

The design of the building makes it environmentally friendly, using technologies such as floor-to-ceiling insulating glass to contain heat and maximize natural light, and an automatic daylight dimming system. The tower also features a greywater system, which captures rainwater and reuses it. Bank of America states that the building is made largely of recycled and recyclable materials. Air entering the building is filtered, as is common, but the air exhausted is cleaned as well.
