　　Windows could catch the sun’s energy to heat water．Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed out by people in a room could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up．

　　Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years．They are now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible．They include old ideas, like “green roofs”, where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out．

　　As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread．

　　The elevators(电梯)at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floor into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops．People who work in the building will enter it by swiping(刷)ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor; readouts will then tell them which elevator to use．The building also has windows with a coating that blocks heat while letting in light．
