    In reply to Air Conditioning Bill Too High? Should've Moved Into A Building Like This
    This is an interesting way of reducing the total square footage of exposed glazing on the enclosure- reduces solar heat gain.

    While I'm not sure what the orientation is, you can bet that there will be a much lower density of dots on the southern facade to minimize direct heat gain.

    The only thing though, is this holepunched facade appears to directly abut interior spaces (based on the pictures- I could be wrong). If they had this system on the outside of an existing wall with an air gap in between the two, it would increase its effectiveness tenfold and be a great solar shading device.

    @Tomo: And it requires a certain degree of masochism to get involved with. And by that, I mean a lot of it.

    But the rewarding thing is that every challenge is completely unique- no one building deals with the same site conditions and design program. #chromehotel

    The architect in me thinks this is actually pretty cool from a purely artistic point of view, especially the black and white juxtaposition.

    But the structural engineer in me just threw up a little. #villamodagalleriesframehotel

    Dammit! Every time this guy does something I think someone wrote an article about me.

    This Bryan Berg guy is the reason I started writing under a pseudonym.

    @GreyHammer: Agreed. I mean, once a key card is touched, it can NEVER be used again, right? Oh wait it can?

    Well, that's besides the point. I'm upset we wasted taxpayer money on this guys salary. Oh wait, you mean it's his own "personal" time, and it made no difference to 99.999999% of the population if he did this or sat on a park bench for the same amount of time?

    I'm sorry, what was your point again?

    @GitEmSteveDave_HasANewNameToda...: I'm fairly certain we'll have to have Geordi run a level 1 diagnostic on all the context parsers in the LCARS library to make sure the ship's computer doesn't begin giving itself illogical orders that it can't understand.

    "Mr. Berg, would you care for any extra keys for your room?" asked the front desk attendant. "Why, yes I would. Yes I would." stated Mr. Berg with an evil little chuckle.

    Until airships that can go into orbit over Flouston Paradise come to fruition, perhaps it's best to either take a cruise, or just stay on dry land.


    Try stuffing 3-4 stars into this lump of shit.

    In order for this to be of much tourist fun, it would have to be part of a destination kind of vacation. Like the air train along the Orient Express or something.
