A Canadian architect has designed a completely different kind of city house—it’s independent of the electricity grid(net),the water system, and sewage lines.” We wanted a house that could remain independent of city utilities,” explains Toronto architect, Martin Liefhebber,” So we will heat it with an efficient wood stove, provide electricity from solar panels, and recycle all waste estimates that the two-story,992-square-foot home could be built for less than $100000, nothing will be wasted. The roof catches snow and rainwater will be treated for drinking water; the toilet, which will use only a cup of water per flush will produce fertilizer for the greenhouse garden situated on the home’s roof. The wall will be built of blocks made from concrete mixed with cellulose fibers-light and inexpensive, yet a very good insulator. Liefhebber has named his house the Codicile, “The name reflects the philosophy that it we use less resource, we’ll have more to pass on to future generations,” he says. Toronto’s laws have so far prevented the house from going up, but Liefebber is hopeful that his new idea will have-wide appeal and plans to build one later this years.(什么从句)
