**Izici Ezivumelana Nemvelo:**

– **I-Passive Solar Design:** Ikhaya lisebenzisa amasu e-solar angenzi lutho ukuze kwandiswe ukushisisa nokukhanyisa kwemvelo, ukunciphisa isidingo sokushisisa nokupholisa okwenziwayo kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi indawo igezwa ngokukhanya okufudumele, okungokwemvelo unyaka wonke.

– **Isitifiketi Senkanyezi Yamandla:** Ngokufaka igwebu lesifutho esimboza sonke isakhiwo, leli khaya elinesitifiketi se-Energy Star liqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle okukhulu kwamandla, ukugcina izindleko zensiza ziphansi ngokumangalisayo, isilinganiso esiphakathi kuka-$110 no-$120 nyanga zonke.

– **Impilo Nemvelo Okokuqala:** Lonke udonga lunamekwe ngopende oluqukethe izakhi ze-organic zero volatile (VOCs), okuqinisekisa ukuthi izinga lomoya ngaphakathi lihlala lihlanzekile futhi liphephile kumndeni wakho.

– **Izixazululo Ezintsha Zamanzi Nokushisa:** Ukufakwa kwesifudumezi samanzi esingenathangi kuqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi ashisayo ahlala etholakala lapho edingeka ngaphandle kokumosha amandla okushisisa amanzi ngendlela evamile.

– **Izinto Ezisimeme:** Ikhishi linama-countertops e-Silestone, adume ngokusimama kwawo kanye nomthelela omncane kwezemvelo, eduze noqalo oluhle nokufakwa kwamathayela okufakwe phansi okuhlanganiswe okuyinkimbinkimbi, okuqhubeka kube negalelo ekuziphatheni okuhle kwekhaya.

– **Izisetshenziswa Ezithuthukisiwe Ezivumelana Nemvelo:** Le ndlu ifakwe zonke izinto zikagesi ze-Energy Star nezindawo zokukhanyisa, okuqhubeka kwehlisa izinga lekhabhoni lekhaya.

- **I-Eco-Conscious Garage Design:** Igalaji liklanywe ngendlela entsha ukuthwala zonke izimoto zikagesi nezikaphethiloli. Ibekwe kahle kude namagumbi okulala ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthula nokuphepha.

I-Valdosta: Umphakathi Ochumayo

I-Valdosta ayilona nje idolobhana; wumphakathi ochumayo ngekhono lawo lezemfundo, impilo esezingeni eliphezulu, kanye nohlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo oluqinile. Ikhaya leNyuvesi yaseValdosta State, eyingxenye yeNyuvesi yaseGeorgia ehlonishwayo, ikhuthaza isimo sokufunda nokushintshisana ngamasiko. Indawo ekahle yedolobha ihora nesigamu kuphela ukusuka e-Tallahassee, eFlorida, kanye namahora angu-2.5 nje ukusuka emabhishi amangalisayo e-Amelia Island nase-Jacksonville, enikeza uhambo olungapheli lwempelasonto nohambo lomndeni.

Izinto Ezijabulisayo Ozozenza

I-Valdosta imema izakhamuzi nezivakashi ukuthi zicwilise emisebenzini ehlukahlukene, kusukela ekuhloleni amapaki ayo aluhlaza nezindawo zokungcebeleka kuya ekujabuleleni ubuciko namasiko. Idolobhana linezikole ezisezingeni eliphezulu, okulenza libe yindawo enhle kakhulu yemindeni. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungathanda ukubamba umdlalo othiyetha wendawo, ukuhlola izinto ezinhle ngaphandle, noma ukujabulela ukudla endaweni yokudlela yasendaweni, u-Valdosta unokuthile angakunikeza wonke umuntu. Ngomphakathi wayo ofudumele, owamukelayo nezinto ezikhangayo ezihlukahlukene, i-Valdosta ingemuva elikahle lale ndawo evumelana nemvelo, enikeza ikhwalithi yempilo okunzima ukuyifanisa.

Leli khaya elisendaweni yasekolishi elisedolobheni lasekolishi limele ithuba eliyivelakancane lokuhlala ngokunethezeka, isitayela, nokuzwana nemvelo kuyilapho uyingxenye yomphakathi ophilayo wase-Valdosta. Kungaphezu kwendlu; kuwukukhetha indlela yokuphila esimeme yesikhathi esizayo.
