　　These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint.Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses，factories，and offices.A green building means “reducing the impact（影响）of the building on the land”，Taryn Holowka of the U．S.Green Building Council in Washington，D.C.，said.

　　2．

　　According to Holowaka，buildings account for 65 percent of the total U．S.electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use.Also，the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways，so that people can drive their cars less.That could be good for the environment，because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings don't destroy forests.
