#### **Introducing Virgin Buildings, capturing iconic Virgin moments in a new generation of ultra-green skyscrapers. **

From a spaceship design in Sydney, to a plane design in London. Then from a balloon
design in New York, to a kiteboard design in Cape Town. So these are extraordinary
Virgin Buildings. They will positively change the landscape for the [environment](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/02/the-united-states-can-save-1-2-trillion-by-2020-if-we-invest-in-green-buildings/).
As well as architecture and cities around the world.

As I’ve reported before:

The United States WILL save $1.2 trillion in savings. It was first assumed by 2020
by “investing in [energy efficient](https://greenlivingguy.com/2018/11/most-plus-least-energy-efficient-state-rankings/)
buildings”. That’s according to a new study from [McKinsey](https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/dotcom/client_service/epng/pdfs/unlocking%20energy%20efficiency/us_energy_efficiency_exc_summary.ashx)&
Co. report.  This new report called, “Unlocking Energy Efficiency in the U.S. Economy”.
It reports that 900,000 new jobs could be created and 1.1 gigatons of greenhouse
gas could be reduced annually.

The catch before was about $50 billion a year needs to be green buildings over the
next ten years (report 9 years ago)

However, the report adds that if we actually do what they recommend!   Can you say
we are talking about a 23 percent drop in energy consumption!

In addition to the striking designs, [Virgin Buildings](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/04/green-growth-and-sustainable-development/)
will feature renewable and recycled materials. As well as cutting edge environmental
considerations. They’ll collect and recycle 100% of their water, using some of this
for novel heating and cooling systems.

As well as [vertical gardens](https://greenlivingguy.com/2020/01/greener-side-of-vertical-gardens/)
to grow food in the buildings. Some of the buildings will even rotate to change 
how they interact with the sun.

Physicist and television presenter Professor Brian Cox shared his expertise with
the team too:
