The materials, size and position（位置）of a building
affect how much energy it uses. More and more engineers and architects（建筑师） are looking for new ways to make building less wasteful. They all try to build “green” houses which are good for the environment. What is the “green” house like? Let’s have a look.

Most roofs are dark, so they absorb certain light, which makes a building warmer.Researchers are trying to make cool roofs with“cool-color”materials.Such materials reflect more sunlight than typical tiles ( 瓦片 ) do.They hope that it will cut the cost of air conditioning.
3. Landscape（地形）
Architects also make use of the environment and landscape to control temperature inside a building. Village Homes in Davis, California is one of the first green societies. It has 240 houses facing south to let sunlight pour in. Houses run on solar power.（太阳能）（）61. The amount (数量) of the energy a building uses is affected by its______.
