that i did not know  

"The roof of the new #SydneyFishMarket is a key sustainability feature, designed with over 400 solar-panel-lined aluminum cassettes that form its distinct, fish scaly appearance. The solar panels are designed to generate approximately 5% of the building's daily energy consumption."

3XN-designed Sydney Fish Market opens to the public

Sydney Fish Market, which claims to be the largest fish market in the southern hemisphere and features an undulating 20,000-square-metre roof canopy, has opened its doors in "an underutilised harbour area" in Sydney.

@Heliograph I get that there's a huge amount of refrigeration going on but there's also a massive roof!
