Silicon Valley prides itself for being on the cutting edge of all things tech. For the most part, it is -- except when it comes to buildings. While there are standouts -- Adobe Systems' downtown San Jose, Calif., headquarters comes to mind -- most of the office buildings in the valley fail to take advantage of technological innovations that would make the real estate more valuable, more wired and more "green." At least that's how Wolfgang Wagener, head of real estate innovation and worldwide real estate at Cisco Systems, sees it.
