臺北101大樓曾是全球最高建筑物，但是，隨著樓高超過800米的迪拜塔落成，101只能屈居第二。臺北101的發言人表示，該建筑已完成所有潔凈能源標準，希望獲得認證，成為全球最高的環保建筑物。發言人稱，臺北101明年將斥資6000萬新臺幣，以完成100項環保認證，希望獲得美國綠色建筑協會的“能源與環境設計先鋒獎”。臺北101會跟85個寫字樓租戶合作，省電省水，同時鼓勵他們使廢棄物再循環，這樣每年可節省2000萬新臺幣公用雜費。另外，臺北101還會鼓勵參觀選擇該大樓附近的食材供應商，以減少運輸帶來的污染。

Outdone by an tower extending over 800 meters in Dubai, the world's former tallest building, Taipei 101, wants to become the highest green structure by completing a checklist of clean energy standards, a spokesman said on Monday.
Taipei 101 will spend T$60 million ($1.9 million) over the next year to meet 100 criteria for an environmental certificate that it would hold over Dubai, spokesman Michael Liu said.
The office-commercial tower that reigned for five years as the world's highest building at 509 meters (1,670 feet) expects the U.S-based Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design to give it the certificate in 2011.
"We're focused now on becoming a Taiwan landmark, that won't change, and on going green. We'd be the tallest building to get a green certificate," Liu said by telephone.
Taipei 101, he said, would work with its 85 office tenants to cut electricity and water use, while encouraging them to recycle more refuse. Annual utility savings should total T$20 million.
Restaurants would be asked to bring in supplies from as close as possible to reduce transportation.
"We can reduce power, trash and water by more than 10 percent," he said. "We're already pretty green. In principle there's no major problem."
The Taiwan skyscraper, complete with an observation deck popular with tourists, has already met 60 of the checklist items, including double-paned windows to retain cool air.
Green towers are unusual in Asia, a region with the world's busiest construction sector yet one of the poorest records for eco-friendly building.
Burj Dubai, started at the height of the economic boom and built by some 12,000 laborers, will now become the world's tallest building. It was set to open on Monday as Dubai seeks to rekindle optimism after its financial crisis.
