Spectacular development in a great location!

From my understanding the cold sea water from the harbour is pumped into heat exchangers inside the top of the building that cool the building's cooling water. This same system is used at Purdy's Wharf where I've been told it saves over $1 million in cooling costs per year, and that was over 10 years ago when I first heard that stat.
Many large ships cool their engines the same way.
