In his efforts to make the greenest museum possible Piano is very concerned with energy efficiency and the building has a number of energy saving devices. The 2.5 acres of living roof will absorb nearly two million gallons of rainwater per year that would otherwise go down the drain. During heavy downpours when the living rooftop is at maximum capacity, water will be siphoned off the roof to an underground water table system that will siphon it back into the park.Piano was determined to build it without air conditioning. Through a complicated system of weather sensors that tell a central computer what motorized windows to open and close, the entire museum is cooled with untreated outside air. Even the skylights automatically pop open to vent hot air. The undulating roofline brings cool air into the open courtyard at the centre of the building, naturally ventilating the surrounding exhibit spaces. The official opening is September 27, 2008. This building is sure to become an essential architectural and environmental stop for anyone looking great landscapes projects.
