This passage 2 Academic IELTS Reading is a problem-solution structure.

This IELTS Reading is packed full of useful vocab like 'to squander energy' (= to waste) and 'it uses a FRACTION of the electricity/at a FRACTION of the energy cost' (=a small or tiny part, amount, or proportion of something).

There were also some interesting uses of nouns as adjectives (wards in hospitals = hospital wards) - see my blog about this useful IELTS topic here:

and adjectives as nouns ('the prosperous' = the people who are prosperous and 'the public').
