All around the world, buildings are going green! People are making green buildings. What does it mean to go green or to make a green building? A green building is designed in a way that is not harmful to the environment. The building uses energy, water and other materials in ways that are good for the environment.
When planning green buildings, architects(建筑师) must think about how to use energy, water, and materials in an environment-friendly way. There are many ways to save energy. Architects can design buildings to use natural light. Buildings can also be made with solar or wind power to get energy from the sun or the wind. To save water, green buildings can have areas on the roofs to collect rainwater. Kitchens and bathrooms can have sinks(洗涤池) and toilets(抽水马桶) that save water. As for the materials used to build the building, it is important to use materials that do not have chemicals. These chemicals are harmful to the air or water. Recycled materials can also be used for buildings.
Buildings around the world use all three of these ways to go green. An office building in Australia uses wind and solar power. A cultural centre in London, England, is made from recycled train cars and is powered by solar and wind power. The California Academy of Sciences in the USA has recycled materials, solar energy, and a huge "living roof" of plants.
More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place!
