A global icon of architecture is to be retrofitted with energy efficiency measures to reduce its energy bills and carbon footprint.
New York's Empire State Building, is to upgrade its 6,500 windows in a bid to cut its energy use by 40 per cent.
The tallest building in New York will benefit from a $20 million (£13.59 million) investment in a green retrofit to cut its annual energy costs by $4.4 million a year.
Radiator
insulation, smart lighting, upgraded control systems for heating and ventilation are among the improvements that will be carried out.
The Clinton Climate Initiative is working with the building's owners to reduce its energy bill and carbon footprint at the same time.
Former president Bill Clinton said: "In this distressed economic climate, there is a tremendous opportunity for cities and building owners to retrofit existing buildings to save money and save energy."
We can help businesses reduce their energy bills and have a dedicated phone line for companies and organisations interested in becoming more energy efficient.
