Built in preparation of the Fourth World Solar City Congress, the sun-dial inspired building covers 75,000 square meters and features exhibition halls, scientific research facilities, training facilities and a hotel. The energy savings on the building is 30% higher than the national energy saving standard due to advanced roof and wall insulation.
