In addition to its stunning structural design, the Crystal is one of the most environmentally friendly structures ever built by mankind. "Crystal" itself also provides a sample for the city of the future - it covers an area of more than 6300 square meters, but it is a model of high energy efficiency. Compared with similar office buildings, it can save electricity by 50%, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 65%, and all heating and cooling needs come from renewable energy. The building uses natural light, which is fully utilized during the day. It also utilizes smart lighting technology, where the building is powered primarily by photovoltaic solar panels and is switched on by an integrated LED and fluorescent light according to most of the day.
