Energy plan based on renewable energy sources
The design of Motor City uses passive environmental controls and harnesses renewable energy for a fully carbon neutral complex.
More specifically, the design of Motor City is inspired by the sleek aerodynamic aesthetic of the racing car. The smooth forms and volumes of the building are sculpted by solar and wind patterns with a lightweight roof that floats over the entire complex.
ETA Florence has executed a number of projects with the architectural firm Foster + Partners, in which ETA has studied, designed, or led the site management of PV and other energy system solutions.
