Image title: The Hearst Tower, First Certified Environmental Tower, 8th Avenue, Manhattan, New York, United States. Architecture of Norman Foster, 2006. Photography 3/10/2008. The “Hearst Tower” (182 m high, 46 floors, 67,000 m2) is the first office tower in the city to obtain environmental certification. Baptisee LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), this certification was awarded in September 2006 by the U.S. Green Building Council, recognized as the supreme national authority for environmentally sensitive buildings. Metallic structure is for example 85% recycled steel. The low emissive glazing chosen for the outer envelope allows natural light to be felt but insulates from the heat of the sun. Inside the offices, sensors control the amount of artificial light according to the amount of natural light present on each floor. And efficient water management has been implemented with water recycling.
