Solar Buildings Planned For Portland

Plans are underway to build two new buildings in Portland, Oregon. The structure will have integrated solar panels built into glass sidings.

According to developers, this move will make the buildings the largest solar facility in the Northwest. The building, that will be generating all of its own power (sunny days provided), will also have a rain water collection to supplement its water needs. Also, if you happen to have an office in this building, you will have access to its port.

Sound great to be able to have a cottage on the Willamette River and drive your boat and park it at you green office.
