S. has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be【B1】______wasteful to tear them all down and【B2】______them with greener versions. A large quantity of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take a(n)【B3】______of 65 years for the reduced carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest【B4】______, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and【B5】______our homes, offices and other buildings.
With some【B6】______, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that【B7】______over time and let in more outside air.
Fortunately, there are a【B8】______number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from【B9】______ones like President Lincoln ’ s Cottage to your own post-war home. And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth: they can help【B10】______property owners from rising power costs.
