Abstract
This research paper sets out to explore the following research question through exploratory case study of a real spheroidal building, the Greater London Authority (GLA) building: “what shape should a building be in order to achieve energy efficiency in the design and construction of the tall office building?” The Greater London Authority building has been acclaimed as being energy efficient, with claims of 75 % reduction in its annual energy consumption compared to a high specification office building. This research paper sets out to explore this claim and to better understand the spheroidal form. Although the building appears to have achieved a high level of energy efficiency a number of problems have been reported. However, it is not clear how many of these are associated with the morphology of the building.
