Abstract Assignment

Would anyone please correct my paragraph? I am not a native speaker so I doubt that I made the following translation properly:



The green building movements had been occurring in Battery Park City in 1999, and this project was to create the green buildings. From the green building, it can save much more energy efficiency than regular building, because it uses solar energy, and reuse the heat. In addition, it saves water by reused from the toilet, air-conditioner, laundry, and shower. It also filtered air twice and increase the indoor air quality. However, green buildings are more expensive than regular building. In conclusion, there is a two choice, either pay less money and waste energy, or pay little bit more money but save energy.

Without looking at the grammar too much, let me point out that surely you did not mean that they reuse toilet water? Gray water (showers, sinks) yes, but not blackwater (toilet). If this is a translation, then okay, but if you're writing it yourself, consider full life cycle costs.

  • More money upfront but continuous reductions in energy and water costs over the years makes a green building cost efficient.
