What is Tree Shading Impact on Building Performance about?

This document summarizes three key studies on using trees to reduce building cooling energy usage through shading. It then presents a new modeling method to assess the effects of tree shading in building performance simulations. Specifically: 1) Previous studies found trees on the west side of houses reduced cooling energy 10-50% and adding 2 trees on the west/east reduced annual cooling costs similarly. 2) A new method models trees by adjusting shading coefficients on walls to represent their shading ef
