　　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.

　　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.

　　According to Holowka, the building accounts for 65 percent of total U．S. electricity use. But green building 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.

　　Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green highrise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by onethird and our water by 50 percent.”

　　The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(板) which change the sun's energy into electricity，” Dettling explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it.
