*Lighting*
Rest assured, there will be plenty of light at the top of the building. The crown will have lights situated on the steel structure, pointing at the backside of the glass. The glass is fritted in order to even better capture the light at night. It will also have some lights within the curtainwall system. The lights within the curtainwall will cascade down the south edge of the sail. There will also be recessed lighting in the panels at the terraced sections of the south facade. All of the lights will be LED's and they'll be able to change the colors for various holidays/events.
*Mechanical Roof*
Levels 36 and 37 make up the mechanical screen at the roof. This space will house some of the building's mechanical equipment, but it will be contained within a finished space, so it won't read through the glass as anything too "mechanical." There is also a large building maintenance rig contained within this space.
*Building Maintenance*
There is a large rig at the top of the building that will allow a basket to service the north, east, and west facades of the building. The north and the east will be treated similar to any other building, but on the west side, the basket will glide down the sail through tracks built into the ends of the vertical "fins" that are featured on the sail. Two large steel rails run along the south edge of the sail, allowing the basket to travel laterally as the facade slopes further and further away from the rig. Rails also are featured at Levels 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, and 36 on the south elevation, and allow a basket to service the terraced south elevation.
Hope that helps!
