Interesting. These kinds of buildings may be the future. In California, then Gov Schwarzenegger instituted that all new government buildings include solar power installation to generate power. Every bit helps.

If living in a high rise is your cup of tea, go for it. It appears the power management system may be more intelligent than the inhabitants of the apartment buildings.

This is very exciting research.

Think in terms of the trickle-down effect :

"The trickle-down effect is a marketing phenomenon that affects many consumer goods, including - but not limited to - new technology and fashion. Initially a product may be so expensive that only the wealthy can afford it. Over time, however, the price will fall until it is inexpensive enough for the general public to purchase."

Think about how the first computers cost hundreds of thousands of dollars ...
How many of you bought one of those?

How many of you own a computer now? ;0}
