  • Green Taipei 101
    Taipei 101, famous for being one of the world's tallest buildings, is set to get some major eco-upgrades in an effort to save money, reduce its impact, and gain the much coveted title of <strong>"World's Tallest Green Building."</strong> In 2007, the Burj Dubai surpassed Taipei 101 in terms of height, but the Taiwanese building won't give up the fight, throwing down $1.8 million in energy efficiency upgrades, which are expected to yield <strong>$20 million annually</strong> in savings and make it the Earth's greenest building that's also closest to the heavens!
