In November 2009, a new energy-saving, high-security gate system for high-rise buildings, the "Ultra-Lightweight Multifunctional Dual Doors", was installed at the Shanghai World Financial Center (hereafter referred to as 'SWFC') located in the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone Center, Pudong New Area in Shanghai. The SWFC is the world's highest skyscraper complex and is operated by Mori Building Group. Performance results of this system in winter show that the amount of external air inflow decreased about 75% compared to that of an automatic sliding door (used per person) and the amount of air-conditioning gas used for the entire building in December 2009 decreased about 5.6% from the previous year.
