Merdeka 118 in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur is considered one of the greenest skyscrapers in the world. We have not only developed a special sustainable concrete for the giant. One of many other environmental measures for the world's second-tallest building at 678.9 meters is the water cooling: 40,000 liters are pumped through the building every minute. Water also plays a special role on the 99th of the 118 floors: For the  hotel pool installed there, we had previously prepared a tsunami study.
