London City Hall, London, UK, 2002 designed by Foster + Partners
City Hall includes a series of green features, including an unconventional building form to minimize heat gain and loss by reducing the exterior surface areas, as well as a stepped profile to the south to self-shade in the summer. Although the outer plane of the double skin facade is all glass, the inner wall contains significant less glazing area. The building uses natural ventilation and a geothermal system rather than air conditioning to maintain a comfortable interior. --

The Vanke Sales House, Xiamen, China, 2012 designed by AECOM
