We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Canary Wharf",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Combined heat and power in the green capitol from
ENER.G, which we summarised at the time by saying "CHP technology in London will enable the UK's tallest residential building to generate its own heat and electricity on site, helping to reduce energy bills and shrink its carbon footprint".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Sapa is perfect fit for docklands hotel from
Sapa Building Systems: "Sapa Building Systems Dualframe 55 has been used for a major extension for the Express by Holiday Inn hotel in London's Docklands".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Autodesk
- take a look at HOK wins inaugural Autodesk Revit Design Awards
which says: "Winning entry shows 'understanding of Revit process and slick collaboration'".
Take a look also at the news release from UBS, Complete service for high rise hoists and access,
as well as UBS Case Study: Swiss Re Tower, 30 St Mary Axe from UBS,
