1 It Has “Breathing” Concrete

Apple likes to tout how green the company is and Apple Park is no different. Each floor is separated by a “breathing,” hollow slab of concrete. The slabs can weigh as much as 60,000 pounds. These slabs are both the floor and ceiling, and a natural HVAC system for the adjacent floors.

Also, they eliminated the need for a traditional HVAC system for nine months out of the year. This is because the concrete allows air to flow in and out of the building freely.

The entire campus is designed to eventually operate on 100% renewable energy. And according to Apple, Apple Park is “Home to one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world.”

Solar panels on the campus’ roof generate 75% of the daytime power and fuel cells make up the other 25%. This amounts to about 21 megawatts of power during peak times.

? Apple Park Holds Many More Secrets

Of course, these are just a few notable facts about Apple Park. There are many things we don’t know and some that weren’t mentioned. For example, Steve Jobs famously insisted on no opening windows which he thought would ruin the aesthetic appeal of the design.

There is also a research & development facility managed by Jony Ive that likely holds many future product prototypes and secrets. And who knows what goes on in the floors below ground..

One thing is for certain, Apple has made its dent in the universe more than once. And many people are eager to see what new products and innovations come out of Apple Park Way.
