HSBC to use solar power to further it’s environmental initiatives

http://www.hsbc.com

HSBC’s Canary Wharf office tower is the tallest corporate headquarter building in Europe to feature solar panels. Covering 617 square metres of the roof of the building, it is also the largest installation of photovoltaic panels on a corporate office in London.

HSBC’s energy saving measure illustrates the bank’s latest commitment to reducing its impact on the environment since it became carbon neutral in 2005.

HSBC has been making a range of measures to reduce it’s environmental impact. We’ve seen this with the range of IT projects such as virtualization as not only an enabler to it’s core business, but a way of improving it’s energy efficiency in doing so the impact the organization has on the environment - very cool.

  1. Given the depth of some of the Piles Driven into the ground for such buildings or companies with large car parks … I am sure that future buildings will use such technology as Ground Source Heating

    Onto car parks - why don’t towns get solar panels as the “roofs” for the top floors?

    Lots of opportunities…
