Commenting 
on the project, Tom Crane, Senior VP, Communications, Skanska stated, “Primarily, we are planning to drastically reduce energy consumption in the renovated building complex by at least 30%, possibly more. We will achieve that by combining state-of-the-art technology for heating, air conditioning, ventilation, lighting, plumbing, controls, and above all a highly energy efficient building envelope.” The target for now is the LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Silver rating, a rating system established by the US Green Building Council. In its role as an advocacy organisation, UN has thus made a giant leap into the green brigade. One could argue that UN is late in taking this step. But while the US has long woken up to perils of global warming, the world at large remains unconcerned. And if UN really wants to, it can play a role in taking this green consciousness far beyond the realms of the Big Apple.
