And now for other ways to go from low to high more efficiently: Could the era of glass skyscrapers be over? One of the architects behind London's famous Gherkin skyscraper has now turned against glass buildings. Is it time tall towers were made out of something else[?]... ... We need to be much more responsible... ... Glass lets out and lets in a lot of heat. A vast amount of energy is required for an office full of people to remain cool in the UAE and to stay warm in the snowstorms of Toronto. Governments are now so concerned by the long-term impact of "solar gain" - the extent to which a building absorbs sunlight and heats up - that they have introduced strict regulations... ... However, the trade association Glass for Europe has dismissed what they consider "a preconceived idea" that glass is bad... Note how for this example, it is the "glass trade association" that is squealing denial... Is the London Shard the last of the great glass skyscrapers? Hopefully so if there are better more efficient more effective ways!
