@lectec.science: The UN building is breaking NYC law

0x4e4448 :

This is how datacenters “use” water. It doesn’t simply disappear. It cycles.

complexlace :

It’s in New York City. But it’s not obligated to follow most NYC laws.

🐀 :

Its really cool how the un building is more transparent than the un itself

Celso Hernandez :

well well well

wombat :

Fun fact: Sydney Opera House uses sea water for its air conditioning too.

mascot465 :

Why can UN relocate its headquarters to Brussels?

Aцe :

Allat for nothing💔

Ameet :

Downtown Toronto uses lake water for cooling

HonkyTonk U :

I work in the Old Post Office building in St Louis. Built in 1882 it uses water from the Mississippi River to help cool the building.

y0v0____ :

the building is in NYC, but has diplomatic immunity. Embassies or international organizations are not "foreign" lands within the host countries

sdlaven🥓🥓🥓 :

“Transparency” hahaha

Hunter Roark :

So just a giant river powered A/C cool.

todd :

sounds super inefficient for no reason

Bro Da :

it's breaking laws but also can't uphold the international laws as well

Bob Jones :

At Motorola we had 4 buildings that housed 1200 employees. We had no heater as we recycled heat from servers to warm the building.

⚜️Antoine⚜️ :

jezzasey :

As someone working and teaching at the UN I appreciate this!

wadafak :
