Shanghai Tower has become a green building with LEED platinum certification because the tower's shell has transparent double walls that insulate, allow for air ventilation and let the sunlight in and uses 80% less energy for heating and cooling compared to other equavilent towers.

I like the curved design and color of the tower as well as how it uses way less energy for heating and cooling than other towers.

I like how it kind of looks World Trade Center 1 with the curvy sharp design. I also like how it utilizes natural heating and cooling solutions instead of traditional gas and electric.

I like the smart control systems of the building and the fact that it's savings of $556,000 each year for energy cost

Sustainable Design

I like the green landscaping within and outside of the building, so that the architecture incorporates nature into its design. I find the double layered transparent walls to be innovative as it offers natural lighting, ventilation, insulation, and a cool design.
