Building scientists have known for a long time that glass walled structures are less energy efficient than the stone and concrete buildings that were put up forty of fifty years ago. But the market demand for glass combined with the relatively low cost of glass wall construction means the building industry has been happy to oblige.

  1. Too bad there isn't something transparent and energy efficient. Having worked in towers like these - I completely understand the desire for glass.

  11. With all those glass houses I hope no one is throwing any stones. Love the clouds below building tops. That could be steam?
