TAIPEI: Outdone by a tower extending over 800 meters in Dubai, the world's former tallest building, Taipei 101, wants to become the highest green structure by completing a checklist of clean energy standards.
Taipei 101 will spend $1.9 million over the next year to meet 100 criteria for an environmental certificate that it would hold over Dubai, spokesman Michael Liu said yesterday.
The office-commercial tower reigned for five years as the world's highest building at 509 metres.
