Green Buildings in St Albans

1. Sky light: this is green because it cancels out all electricity entirely, because it uses the suns power and light, A downside to this is that it does not work at night.
2. Motion sensor lights: these lights are power saving lights, if someone is walking into a room the motion sensor will pick them up and then it will automatically switch off, when there is no motion. It does not waste power. The light bulbs also last a lot longer.
3. Push tap: A more environmentaly friendly tap as it does not waste water, because as you leave it closes automatically, you cannot forget to close it. It cannot leak as easily as a turn tap.
4. Reservoirs and Astros: The reservoirs pump water onto the astro, the water runs through the astro and runs back into the reservoirs. This works on the concept of recycling which is very green. if the astro had just let the water run out.
5. Thatch roof: This saves a lot of money, thatch is a very good insulator so no aircons or heaters are needed. There is much less energy used in this procees of making thatch roofs.
6. Wood Hut: this hut is made up of wood, (wood is a renewable resource) it is a very good insulator, and provides less pollution. The procces of using making bricks it uses a lot more energy. As well as more materials and manpower.
