Now,what is of inerest to us about this project is the features which make the building energy-efficient.
現(xiàn)在，讓我們對(duì)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目感興趣的是建筑的節(jié)能特色。
Sunlight floods in through the glass wall,and to maximise it there are lots of mirrors and windows inside the house.
陽(yáng)光透過(guò)玻璃墻射入，通過(guò)屋里的許多鏡子和窗戶將陽(yáng)光最大化。
That helps to spread the light around.
這有助于光線的擴(kuò)散。
So that's the first thing - light is utilised as fully as possible.
所以這是第一點(diǎn)，盡可能全面的使用光亮。
In addition, the special tiles on the outside convert energy from the sun and generate some of the house's electricity.
另外，外面的特殊瓷磚可以轉(zhuǎn)化太陽(yáng)能，為房子供電。
In fact, and it's possible that in future the house may even generate an electricity surplus,
事實(shí)上，房子在未來(lái)甚至可能產(chǎn)生剩余的電力，
and that the owners will be able to sell some to the nationa grid.
房主可以把一些電力賣給國(guó)家電網(wǎng)。
As well as that,wherever possible,recycled materials have been used.
除此之外，只要有可能，用得都是回收的材料。
For example,the floors are made of reclaimed wood.
例如，地板用得是回收木材。
And the owners haven't bought a single item of new fumiture - they just kept what they already had.
而且房主沒(méi)買一件新家具，他們依舊用過(guò)去的。
And then there's the system for dealing with the waste produced in the house.
之后，房子里有一個(gè)處理垃圾的系統(tǒng)。
This is dealt with organically - it's purified by being filtered through reed beds which have been planted for that purpose in the garden.
這是有機(jī)化處理，它通過(guò)蘆葦?shù)乇粌艋耍@就是在花園里種它們的用途。
So the occupants of the house won't pollute the land or use any damaging chemicals.
所以房子的居住者不會(huì)污染土地或使用任何有害的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。
It's true that the actual construction of the house was harmful to the environment,
房屋的建造確實(shí)會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境造成危害，
mainly because they had to use massive amounts of concrete - one of the biggest sources of carbon dioxide inmanufacturing.
主要是因?yàn)樗麄儾坏貌皇褂么罅康幕炷粒@是制造業(yè)中二氧化碳最大的來(lái)源之一。
And,as you know,this is very damaging to the environment.
正如你知道的，這對(duì)環(huán)境非常有害。
In total,the house construction has released 70 tons of carbon dioxide into the air.
房屋建造總共向空氣中釋放了70噸的二氧化碳。
Now that's a frightening thought.
這是一種令人恐懼的想法。
However,once the initial 'debt' has been cleared and it's been calculated that this will only take 15 years.
然而，一旦最初的“債”被還清了，據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)這只需要15年的時(shí)間。
This underground house won't cost anything - environmentally I mean
這所地下房屋對(duì)環(huán)境不會(huì)造成任何代價(jià)，
because unlike ordinary houses, it is run in a way that is completely environmentally friendly.
因?yàn)樗c普通住房不同，它完全對(duì)生態(tài)環(huán)境無(wú)害。
So,eco-housing like this is likely to become much more...
所以，這種生態(tài)住房可能變得更加……
