The SEC is certified LEED Platinum thanks to energy conscious HVAC and lighting systems, roof terraces that featured plants and grasses, and the world’s first hydroformed stainless steel screen. The screen is designed to shield the interior of the building from the hot sun during the summer months, and strategically admit sunlight during the winter months, to reduce the amount of energy used for heating and cooling.
