I love the Academy of Science and have been a member for many years. I
miss the old building because it had more exhibits, rooms and charm
than this building. And it was more affordable, this one costs $25 to go
in and has less than before. But apart from that why is this building
touted so highly for its green and sustainable systems? It cost $480m to
build but it has grass on the roof and some light wells and has a better
management of air conditioning (btw, this is San Francisco, we hardly
ever need to use air conditioning.
What's so green and sustainable about a $480m building? A mud hut in
Africa is greener.
