This ty

42、pe of housing can, either fully or partly, use renewable energy, such as sun or water, to power the homes. There are many different types of sustainable housing.Green roof homes are buildings with roofs that include different kinds of plants. The plants bring many advantages to the home, such as sto

43、pping noises from outside. Green roofs also often help keep the building cooler during the summer and warmer in the winter. They can be used as gardens for growing fruits, vegetables or flowers that improve the air quality not only for the home, but also for the nearby area. Underground homes are an

44、other type of sustainable housing. These are usually made much like traditional homes, but are built partly or fully underground. Some have moss-covered( 青 苔 覆 盖 的 ) roofs. Many of these houses make use of geothermal(地热) energy, or heat stored inside the Earth, to regulate temperature. Besides being

45、 underground, many of these houses have special-placed windows that allow natural sunlight to brighten them. Glass houses have walls made almost totally from glass. This allows natural light to warm the whole home during the day. These homes often turn sunlight into electricity that can power the ho

46、me at night. This system reduces electricity bills and is friendly to the environment.Another type of sustainable housing is floating homes, or houseboats. These houses float on water and are typically light-weight and small in size. Some of them are filled with argon gas(氩气) which helps to keep the
