As a minister meets the building industry to discuss ways to make new housing more energy efficient, artist Clare Bull explains what it is like to live in the country's first environmental showhome.

It contains hundreds of environmentally-friendly features including a solar thermal system which provides 50% of the energy needed for water heating.

標題是"住在碳中立的房子" ?? 當然不能這樣直譯, 不過確是有點困難, 基本上neutral應該朝平衡的方向解釋, 因為不太可能不用到碳, 否則標題大可改為 carbon free, 那麼意思是不是在自然條件可以吸收分解的條件下使用碳 ?? ex., 假使經由植物行光合作用可以消化一立方的二氧化碳, 那麼就在這個範圍內使用碳 ??
