If the costs were are as marginal as you suggest, then the city wouldn't have had to mandate the use of higher efficiency glass. I'm willing to bet that using lower efficiency glass on portions of this building is saving the builder at least several million dollars if not more.

Lou,
all the glass will most likely be 'high E' (it's actually called 'low E')... and you have no idea what is being spec'd, it most likely is just a change to the tint which will still have an impact on reducing solar gain but little to none on cost... my point still stands, the justification is not there, they did it for aesthetics... if the solar variances from floor to floor is such a big deal, you would see this effect on all towers that have changes in SF floor plates
accusing me of not being objective is kinda funny coming from one of the leaders of the Gang Choir...
