816 Congress will get a green roof. See the link for renderings. They're also planning a water collection system from condensation from the building's HVAC system. And all the materials used will be recycled.

Downtown high-rise to get $3 million 'green roof' upgrade

A 20-story office tower on Congress Avenue soon will feature an amenity deck with an outdoor terrace and indoor executive lounge, a $3 million "green roof" upgrade that will be a first for a downtown Austin commercial high-rise, the building's owner says.
The landlord, an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, said the renovation of 816 Congress will consist of a 12,300-square-foot outdoor terrace, plus an adjoining executive lounge on the 15th floor for tenant business meetings, employee breaks and private functions. The lounge will have a bar and catering area.
Now under construction and scheduled to be finished in late September, the project also will include three smaller rooftop terraces on lower floors.
