Biggest solar panel roof goes to ... eBay!
Last week eBay opened its brand new offices settled under the largest solar panel roof that San Jose has ever seen. The 197,000 square foot building was designed by Valerio Dewalt Train Associates. "Building 17" will house 800 employees from eBay's Pay Pal branch. In addition to its impressive roof, many of the textiles from carpeting to cubical fabric are made from post-recycled materials. Lights will turn off if rooms are empty and shades will automatically close if the sun is too hot. There is even a large reflection pool outside that will help to cool the building as the water evaporates. EBay claims to have achieved a LEED's gold rating for their new office.
And all this time, I thought eBay was run by little men in my computer. Weird.
