Through very innovative and holistic mechanical design practices, the Tower Building uses about 30% less energy than is used by 99.9% of all buildings in America. This savings in the Tower Building alone is equivalent to not burning 466 tons of coal per year, which means 932,000 lbs. of coal is not burned in order to operate the Tower Building. These results in a reduction of 3323 tons of CO2, 36 tons of sulphur dioxide, 11 tons of nitrous oxide and 28 tons of ash released every year into our environment.

• Indoor air quality: Triple filtered, 3-stage, outside air filtration system, (like the ones used on nuclear submarines) with first a media filter, then activated charcoal and potassium permanganate filters which scrub and clean the air, removing 85% of airborne chemical pollutants.
  
• Day light availability: A low E glass has been used that allows the daylight in, but keeps the heat and cold out and maintains a steady and more comfortable temperature in the space.
  
• Air conditioning: Low temperature central plant chilled water air conditioning system with economizers, which is 30% more efficient than typical “market” air conditioning systems.
  
• Double wall construction for air conditioning units providing cleanable interior surfaces and superior acoustics and moisture removal features that minimize microbiological growth.
  
• Ventilation systems: Exceed the ASHRAE 62 standard by more than 25% and exchange air in the building entirely every 55 minutes.
  
• Digital electronic building management system (BMS).
  
• Energy adaptive smart elevators (they learn the traffic patterns of the building).
  
• A high percentage of recycled and recyclable materials, including the carpet.
  
• Ecologically-sensitive cleaning materials and solvents using low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are used throughout the building.
  
• The ceiling tiles are made up of 79% recycled materials and acoustical sound transfer is 30-40% less than in a typical building - that means it’s quieter – a place you can think.
