BCA has not been replying our request to film our video at the zero building location so we have decided not to wait and carry on with plan B which would be to film a video on the asia square building. The key focus of the video would be on their bio-diesel generation plant( how they use they use the product and the efficiency of such a system etc.) and also their large array of solar panels.(largest array of panels on the rooftop)
