San Francisco’s Transbay Terminal is Green, Ultra-Slick | Inhabitat

“The terminal, designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, will extend the Caltrain line by 1.3 miles into the center of the financial district. It will also feature a new 5.4 acre green roof that will act as a city park and will host variety of cultural activities. A redevelopment of the area surrounding the terminal will add 2,600 new homes. In the sustainability arena, the terminal will feature wind turbines, floors that draw fresh air from the outside, Geothermal heating and cooling to regulate temperature, and a graywater recycling system.
