In one recent year, the (40)______ of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office in New York city raised the (41)______ daily demand for electricity by 120 000 kilowatts—enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.

To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning (43)______,builders of skyscrapers have begun to use special glass that reduce glare as well as heat gain. (44)____________.
