Disney Hall Heats Up The Neighbors

Los Angeles’ Disney Hall is a big success, but some of its neighbors aren’t so happy. It seems that at certain times of the day sun reflects off the metal-clad building and into nearby apartments, thereby blinding occupants and heating up their homes by as much as 15 degrees. “You would have to literally close the drapes and you’d still feel warmth in the house. You would have the air conditioning on all the time.”
