Planned for the Al Quoz neighborhood in Dubai, the skyscraper will be having clear access to sunlight from all sides. The bottom three floors of the tower will include shopping, commercial areas and restaurants. The top of the retail podium will have a living roof garden that will be watered using condensate from the building\u2019s air handling units.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/11\/10mw-tower_3_F6NUA_69.jpg\" alt=\"10mw tower_3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Generating 10MW of renewable energy, the design will be able to neutralize its embodied energy of 360,000MWh in less than 20 years, which no other skyscraper has ever done. The solar concentrating system will be building into the south facing fa\u00e7ade and features the use of 1600 heliostatic mirrors that direct sunlight to a receiver mounted above the mirrors on a cantilevered arm. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/11\/10mw-tower_4_ZZjIi_69.jpg\" alt=\"10mw tower_4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/11\/10mw-tower_5_t7LKA_69.jpg\" alt=\"10mw tower_5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/03\/11\/10mw-tower_6_62MbP_69.jpg\" alt=\"10mw tower_6\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inhabitat.com\/2010\/03\/10\/10-mw-skyscraper-generates-renewable-energy-from-the-wind-and-sun\/\">Inhabitat<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eco Factor: Sustainable tower designed to generate more renewable energy that it consumes.
