A building is like a superhero, some are eco-friendly, others aren’t. Sustainable buildings use less energy and help the Earth stay happy by using things like sunlight or smart materials. Not sustainable buildings waste energy, like when lights stay on all night even if no one is there.
Examples
- A house with big windows that let sunlight in during the day doesn’t need lights all night.
- A school built from recycled materials is more eco-friendly than one made of plastic bricks.
- A building with a green roof helps cool down the city and drinks up rainwater like a sponge.
