Empire State building goes green
By Jonathan Blake
BBC News, New York
Mr Clinton said the changes should be a model for other buildings
One of the world's most famous skyscrapers - the Empire State building in New York - is going green.
A project is underway to reduce the amount of energy used in the building by more than a third, saving millions of dollars a year.
This green makeover is part of a $500m (£340m) refit which the building's owners hope will attract bigger companies paying higher rents.
Former President Bill Clinton's Climate Initiative has helped fund the project.
Mr Clinton and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg say the changes should be a model for other buildings around the world to follow.
Some 13,000 people use the Empire State Building every day - including the many visitors to the world famous landmark's observatory.
The work will include a layer of film added to each of the 102-storey building's 6,500 windows, insulation behind radiators and improved lighting, ventilation and air conditioning.
People working in the building will be able to use the internet to monitor how much energy is being used, and where.
The plan is to cut the amount of energy used by 38% per year, saving $4.4m.

Over 100 million people have visited the Empire State Building, but only military personnel in full uniform get in free. Or those that work there... Photo: Adnan Idrizbegovic

Though the ESB has 102 stories, the 86th floor Observation Deck still provides a pretty decent view... Spot the Chrysler building. Photo: Adnan Idrizbegovic
