A developer in the Chinese province of Hunan has built a skyscraper in just 19 days using a prefabrication technique designed to save energy and reduce pollution.

The 57 storey, 2 million square foot tower built by Broad Group contains 800 apartments and has enough office space for 4,000 workers. The building was erected at a rate of 3 floors per day.

The prefabrication technique avoided 15,000 truck deliveries, eliminated dust, decreased the use of raw materials, and saved time and money.

The tower uses quadruple-thick glass and 99.9% sealed construction, which will help save energy and reduce carbon emissions, the company said ?
