Barrettes are a form of pile used to make the foundation. A single foundation barrette has the capacity to support a 50 storey building. • The building has enough cooling capacity to air-condition over 14,000 modern homes or to service 14 luxury resort hotels each with 2,000 rooms and all the public areas and amenities • The building is so tall that it experiences five different microclimatic conditions over its height, each with individual design features • The temperature in the atmosphere at the top of the building can be as much as 10 degrees cooler than the bottom • Due to the high speed shuttle lifts one may be able to see the sunset twice from the bottom and again from the top of the building • The goal is to achieve the highest LEED certification we can for a building this size • There will be approximately 10,000 car parking spaces in Nakheel Tower • Nakheel Tower and podium combined will be in excess of 2 million sq m               More Picz... <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha1_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha2_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha3_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha4_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha5_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha6_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha7_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.arabianbusiness.com/images/magazines/arabianbusiness.com/web/fullsize/Nampucha8_full.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/9859/podiumok3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Give a + rep if you like this post..<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> </blockquote>
