The Beddington eco-village is located in South London and is among the first batch of eco-villages in UK. Now， about 250 people live in its 100 flats and houses. Its name “BedZED” is an abbreviation of Beddington Zero Energy Development. The designer aims to make BedZED the first complete eco-village in UK and create a sustainable living environment in the city by saving as much energy as possible.
The colorful funnel-shaped architectures in BedZED are not only pleasing to the eyes but also constitute a very important link in the whole development project. Bill Dunster， the architect of BedZED eco-village， said， these colorful funnel-shaped buildings are the natural ventilating chimneys driven by wind. While one chimney emits the exhaust air out of the room， another chimney inhales the fresh air into the room. And with the aid of other high-tech facilities， the room can be maintained at a comfortable temperature during the four seasons all year round.
What is more， it doesn’t have any central heating system using natural gas. The 50 centimeter-thick walls are made of hulk cement blocks with huge amount of rock wool inside， which not only ensure high insulation， but also retain the heat it absorbed for five days. If a house is vacant for a period and the temperature slumps fast， the automatic constant temperature facility will start the back-up trickle-down heat resource， which can maintain a comfortable temperature in the room. Each south facing conservatory is equipped with solar panels to ensure a comfortable temperature in winter. To absorb maximal heat， all the warm rooms facing sun are equipped with triple glazing with sunlight recovering thin films of maximal heat absorption， so the room can enjoy the spring temperature all the year round without any natural gas central heating .
The electricity in the eco-village comes from wood waste. The main reason for the non-pollution impact of BedZED is the heat combination power plant， which uses wood waste to generate power. Rainwater constitutes the main source of water， which enters into the water reservoir after being filtered in the automatic purification filter. Residents can get water with water pumps to clean toilets and irrigate woods and parks. The building material of BedZED is sustainable. All rooms have fridges， conditioning equipment and cooking utensils with lowest-impact. Besides， the entire village uses low-consumption electric lamps and low-voltage showers which can minimize the using of water.
People in BedZED only use renewable energies like solar energy and electro-mobiles to protect ecology， improve energy efficiency and lower the emission of sewage and waste. It also emphasizes the designing of energy efficiency. All these technologies take the lead in the world now. The designer combines the three major elements of life--sunlight， air and water--with the modern artificial architecture to effectively revive the lively ecological dialogue between human and nature.
