A £ 30m computer to predict climate change makes the headquarters of the Met Office Devon one of the worst building UK public to contamination.
IBM machine fills two separate chambers in the size of football fields.
The company produces 12,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, making it among the worst in the building of the Institute for communities and local government table.

Met Office spokesman Barry Gromett said most of the green building rating was excellent.

"By failing to distinguish between super-computers and facilities of the Office of the process that reflects negatively on the website all the Met Office." In fact, the general office rated excellent and consistently produced by the Met Office in Exeter building completed in 2003. "
The IBM supercomputer is more than 100 bilioner calculations per second, to take one of the hundreds of comments from around the world.

Thousands of buildings, including the University of Exeter, was evaluated in the order obtained under Freedom of Information Act.
She said that despite the poor reviews in several places in the country had reduced its carbon footprint by 10% in recent years.
