Sustainability features in Bank of America Tower

The tower project incorporates
sustainability measures and high 
performance technologies to
 provide an energy efficient, 
water efficient building
with a high-quality indoor 
environment (with regard to natural

 light and fresh air).
The Tower will be constructed from mainly recycled 
and recyclable building materials, and will feature a range 
of advanced environmental  technologies, such as filtered 
under floor displacement air ventilation, translucent insulating 
glass windows which allow maximum daylight 
and an on-site 4.6- megawatt cogeneration plant, which will
provide power, cleanly and efficiently.
Daylight dimming and light-emitting diode (LED) lights 
will be used to reduce usage, and CO2 monitors will 
automatically introduce fresh  air as and when necessary.
There will be also planted roofs which will contribute to 
reducing the  urban heat island effect, and a grey-water
 system in place to capture and reuse all water 
(Smart Communities Network, no date).
