A study in Ann Arbor, Michigan, used utility records to examine energy use in houses under three different levels of tree stocking. [UMN]
"A study in Ann Arbor, Michigan, used utility records to examine energy use in houses under three different levels of tree stocking. Field measurements and aerial photo interpretation quantify the density of shade cast by trees and potential wind shielding effects. Variability in structures complicates analysis, but trends are observed which suggest that proper placement of trees may yield significant energy savings." [Abstract]
