Apartment House Gives: Similarly, in large urban areas the temperature is almost constantly five, ten, or more degrees higher than in the corresponding rural areas, largely because of heat given off in man-generated activity. To cite one example, the air conditioning for an apartment house gives off much more heat to the outside world than is removed from inside the house—a phenomenon caused by inefficiencies in the system.
The John Hancock Center is a combination parking, office, and apartment structure having divided into about 800,000 sq ft (74,320 sq m) of commercial space and parking, 1 million sq ft (92,900 sq m) of office space, and 1 million sq ft of apartment space. The structure, rectangular in plan, is 1,105 ft (337 m) high and tapers from 263 x 165 ft (80 x 50 m) at the base to 160 x 100 ft (49 x 30 m) at the top. The wind forces for which the design was made varied from 25 Ib/sq ft (122 kg/sq m) at the base to 58 Ib/sq ft (283 kg/sq m) at the top of the building.
The people on the receiving end of these questions gradually come to think of their metropolitan area as a kind of large, disorganized zoo; any house or apartment may contain a baby alligator brought back from Florida, a homed toad picked up in Arizona, a pet turtle that won't eat, a bowl of goldfish that aren't doing too well, a tropical [aquarium that has been so taken over by aJgae that the owner can't ! the fish, or even such unusual pets as chipmunks, flying squirrels, ads, frogs, or snakes.
