The picture above is the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) is where the UN Climate Change Conference is being held (from November 26 to December 7 of 2012).  During this conference up to 12.5% of the energy needs per day will be provided by 3,500 square meters of solar paneling, which is part of the building’s design.  These solar panels offset 1,140 tonnes of carbon emission annually!
