2. Low Energy Life Lessons

The Bloom family lives in a custom built house equipped with energy saving appliances. "Air gets sucked out here."

Its ventilation system, coupled with something called a heat exchanger, preserves and recycles all the heat in the house…even the warmth given off by bodies and machines like computers.

And finally, to keep the Blooms snug during Switzerland's cold winter

"recycled wood?"...

a furnace that burns waste wood pellets.

.."and it heats the water."..

It all adds up to big energy savings.

"How close are you?"

"We are around, umm, three thousand five hundred."

But to get even closer to their two thousand watt goal, the Blooms don't ever leave appliances on stand-by overnight.

They try to eat locally produced food, and their hybrid car spends most of its time in the driveway.

But maybe their most lasting contribution to the 2000 watt society is passing on the low energy habit to the next generation.

2.3 Translation

블룸네 가족은 에너지 절약형 설비를 갖춘 맞춤형 주택에 살고 있습니다. “공기는 이 곳을 통해 빠져 나갑니다.” 열 교환기와 연결된 이 집의 환기시스템은 인체의 열기와 컴퓨터와 같은 기계에서 발생하는 집 안의 모든 열기를 잡아 재활용합니다. 그래서 블룸네 가족은 스위스의 추운 겨울을 따뜻하게 보내기 위해서 가마에 나무장작을 뗍니다. “재활용 나문가요?”… “그리고 이게 물을 데워주죠.” 이 모든 것이 에너지 절약에 큰 보탬이 됩니다. “2000와트에 얼마나 가까이 갔나요?” “음..약 3500 정도요” 하지만 그들의 목표인 2000와트에 더 다가가기 위해선 블룸네 가족은 작은 기계의 대기모드조차도 남겨두지 않습니다. 이들은 그 지역에서 생산된 음식을 먹으려고 하고, 그들의 전기 자동차는 대부분 차고 앞에 세워놓습니다. 하지만 아마도 그들이 2000와트 클럽에 가장 크게 기여한 것은 에너지 절약습관을 다음 세대에까지 이어지도록 한 것입니다.

2.4 Sum Up

There’s this family named the Bloom living in a custom built house to save energy. This house has energy saving appliance like a ventilation system coupled with heat exchanger. The Bloom family uses less energy than most of the people around them, but they keep trying to save energy to get close to the 2000watt society. They all contribute to the low energy habit to the next generation.

2.4 Picture Glossary for New Word

Furnace

A furnace (from the Latin word fornax, meaning "oven") is an appliance that produces heat. The heat in a furnace is usually produced by combustion of a fuel such as oil, wood, or natural gas. The heat may also be generated by electricity, as in an electric arc furnace, or by induction heating in an induction furnace. In American English, the term furnace generally refers to the central heater in a home or office, or the heater for an industrial process, and sometimes it is a synonym for kiln, a device used in the production of ceramics. In British English, the term furnace almost exclusively means an industrial furnace, whereas a household heater is called a boiler or heater. Industrial furnaces are used for many applications, such as the extraction of metals from ores (smelting), the running of chemical reactions, or the refining of oil by fractional distillation.

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another.

The medium may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact.

They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, and natural gas processing. One common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car, in which the heat source, being a hot engine-cooling fluid, water, transfers heat to air flowing through the radiator.
