The Edge office building in Amsterdam prides itself on good coffee, lots of natural light---no desk is far from a window — and a gym that allows you not just to get fit but also to contribute to the energy supply of the office.
It also cleans its toilets with rainwater, has a robot security guard that will challenge you if you wander around at night and a whole range of clever technology to make the building sustainable.
The developers behind it, Dutch firm OVG, likes it so much that they moved in when it was finished.
So is the office that has already been called the world’s greenest, really as smart as it seems?
The building, whose main tenant (租客) is consultancy firm Deloitte and was designed by London-based architects PLP Architecture, has “smart” ceilings equipped with 28000 sensors, which measure temperature, light, motion and humidity. The lighting, designed by Phillips, is also smart — each one of the LED panels is ultra-efficient and requires only a tiny amount of electricity.
Workers can control the temperature, lighting and blinds via a series of apps on their smartphones and work is ongoing to consist with them.
Users select the temperature they want from a sliding gauge (计量器) on their phone and it will in turn adjust the valves (阀门) in the pipes above their head. Each valve controls the temperature of around four desks so they do have to hope that the colleague sitting next to them is also happy with the change.
Facilities manager Wybe Van der Mey tells me, with some degree of pride, that in the first year of opening he only received a handful of complaints about the heating. In a traditional building that would be our headache number one,” he said.
24. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Office Building in the Future B. Well-equipped Office Building
C. A Modern Building D. Tomorrow’s Smart Building
25. It can be learned from the passage that in the office building _______.
A. no robbery will take place in the daytime
B. more electricity will be required
C. users complain a lot about the lighting problem
D. people will be able to work more efficiently
26. Phones used to control the temperature are mentioned in the text to show _______.
A. it is easy for people to communicate with each other
B. it is convenient for people to use the building
C. it is interesting to use phones sitting in the building
D. it is fun to check the progress of the ongoing work
