Heating and cooling equipment are the biggest users of energy in American homes. And homes are responsible for about one fourth of the nation's total energy use. But there are

surprisingly simple ways to deeply cut energy use, its effect on the environment and its cost. David Peabody and his team at Peabody Architects design passive homes. Passive houses use no solar or wind energy equipment. But they are extremely energy efficient. They cut heating and cooling costs by about ninety percent. But what sets his design apart from other “green homes” is that it looks like any other home. Mr. Peabody says, “This is the beauty of the passive house. You don’t have to build a passive house in a particular way or to any particular style. That’s why we decide to make something that was very traditionally American.”

Peabody Architects says it is building the first passive home in the Washington DC area. But it will not be the last. In Arlington, Virginia, Roger Lin and his brother Eric are also building one. Roger Lin of Southern Exposure Homes explains that windows are sealed against leaks and have three layers of glass. The windows are airtight. On a cold winter day, the temperature inside the unfinished home is a comfortable twelve degrees.

David Peabody says you can find passive homes all over the world. “North Africa, for example, has a passive house community designing for very hot dry climates and that’s a whole other area of exploration for passive houses.” he says. The first passive design was an apartment building in Darmstadt, Germany. Two physicists helped develop it about twenty years ago.

Passive houses use some specialized materials. They also need to have special air treatment systems. Supporters say they cost only 6% more than traditional homes. But they use 10% of the energy for heating and cooling. But Passive House Institute US says even greater savings can be reached with additions like solar water heating systems. They might call that an active passive house.

72. What is the difference between the passive house and other green homes? (no more than 7 words)

73. What does the underlined word “sealed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? (no more than 2 words)
