The New York Times Building on 41st and 8th is tied with the Chrysler building for the 3rd tallest building in NYC. Completed in 2007, the building’s horizontal ceramic rods “act as a sunshade, sufficient in number to block half of the sun’s energy” while harvesting “natural light so that electric lighting is used just as a supplement”. It has a “very advanced dimmable lighting system and a dynamic shading system with real energy savings of well over 50%.”
