Nearby here in Oslo they're building a (smallish) tower[1][2] for combined office and residential use, with the aim to not use any external electricity for ventilation, cooling or heating. Instead they will rely on natural ventilation combined with a solar-powered heat pump, or so is the goal.
Will be interesting to see how it works out in practice...
