Index Tower

From Wikipedia
The Index by Foster and Partners
The Index is a 328 m (1,076 ft) tall, 80-storey skyscraper in Dubai. The tower is oriented exactly along the east–west axis so that the eastern and western concrete cores shelter the floors from the harsh, desert sun and the climatic effects of the area. The concrete cores shelter the building from the low angle, highly penetrating morning and evening sun leaving only the south facade exposed to the high angle, low penetrating midday sun. The south-facing facade utilises extensive sun shades to lower solar gain.During the height of the summer, without air conditioning, the tower's internal temperatures will not surpass 28 degrees Celsius.
