According to CNET
"The architect of the Technion's Yitzhak Rabin Environmental Science building chose to emphasize natural contours for the design. To help air condition the building, a large block of ice is made each night--when electricity is cheaper--in an underground chamber. The melting ice then cools the building."
Sounds SciFi. I cant believe it is true

Actually I've heard about those night-time cooling tanks before. They are probably real. And yes, Rabin is a very "green" building
but electricity is not cheaper at night... we have the same cost in any hour...
