The roof of the Hearst Tower has been designed to collect rainwater in order to reduce the amount of water dumped into the city's sewer system during rainfall by 25%. The rainwater obtained is conserved and used efficiently. The rain water is used to replace water lost to evaporation in the office air-conditioning system, to irrigate plants and trees within and outside of the building and it also serve to humidify and chill the tower's ten story atrium as required.
