Description
Describes a study funded by the US Department of Energy to simulate the impact of trees on heating and cooling energy consumption of house and to assess the conservation potential of trees in several representative climates in the US. Fourteen prototypical buildings in seven representative US climates were selected and their heating and cooling energy consumption simulated using a weather modification program in conjunction with DOE-2 building energy simulation program. Presents the findings in tables and graphs.
KEYWORDS: Energy consumption, housing, trees, shade, wind barriers.
