通过巧妙地利用一座建筑的朝向，以及合理利用本地的地形、气候、植被，该公司可以自然地营造出舒适的室内气候条件。

Charles Gallavardin, director of T3 Architecture Asia, first forayed into bioclimatic architecture in 2005. In cooperation with the World Bank, he built an affordable apartment building in Ho Chi Minh City, which houses 350 families in an impoverished neighborhood where AC bills were to be avoided.

T3亚洲建筑公司的经理查尔斯•嘎拉瓦丁2005年首次涉足生物气候建筑。他在胡志明市和世界银行合力建造了一座经济适用房大楼，这座可容纳350户家庭的大楼建在负担不起空调费用的贫民区。

"You don't need to spend money on air conditioning, even in a hot climate like Ho Chi Minh, as long as your building is well designed," Gallavardin tells CNN.

嘎拉瓦丁告诉CNN说：“只要建筑设计得好，即使是在胡志明市这样炎热的地方，你也不需要在空调上花钱。”

Covered open-air corridors, ventilated roofs, fiber-glass insulation and the use of natural materials meant the Ho Chi Minh City units offered both natural light and ventilation.

封闭式露天走廊、通风屋顶、玻璃纤维隔热墙以及天然材料的使用意味着胡志明市的这座建筑拥有良好的自然光线和通风条件。

"We try to avoid big glass facades facing east or west, because that would make the building like an oven in a tropical climate," he says.
