TREES CONSERVE ENERGY

��Deciduous trees, like sycamore, oak, maple and birch, planted on the south and west sides of the house, will keep your house cool in the summer and let the sun warm your home in the winter, reducing energy use. A well-planned landscape can reduce an unshaded home’s air conditioning costs by 15–20 percent. (U.S. Department of Energy)

��Just three trees, properly placed around a house, can save up to 30 percent of energy use. Planting a row of conifer trees on the north and northwest sides of your property creates a wall against cold winter winds. (U.S. Forest Service Center for Urban Forest Research)

��Trees or shrubs planted to shade air conditioners help cool a building more efficiently, using less electricity. A unit operating in the shade uses as much as 10 percent less electricity than the same one operating in the sun. (U.S. Department of Energy)

��Consider power line location when planting a tree. Trees that grow into power lines cause electrical outages to your home and increase line maintenance costs.

Landscaping doesn’t only add beauty to your home, but it can also improve your home’s comfort and lower your energy bills.

On average, a well-designed landscape saves enough energy

to pay for itself in less than

Top 3 Landscaping Strategies by Climate

A microclimate is an area where the climate differs from the surrounding area. It can be as small as a few square feet or as large as a few square miles.

A microclimate impacts the type of plants that can grow in

your landscape.

Landscaping for Shade

Planting Tips

Shading is the mostcost-effective way to reduce solar heat gain in your home and cut air conditioning costs. To effectively shade your home, you need to know the size, shape and location of the shadow that your shading device casts.

Landscaping for Windbreaks

A windbreak reduces heating costs by lowering the wind chill near your home. It also creates dead air space that insulates your home in the summer and winter.

Landscaping for Water Conservation

Temperate Region

Take advantage of the sun’s warming effect in the winter.

Shade your home from the hot summer sun.

Deflect winter winds with windbreaks on the north and

northwest sides of your house.

Hot-Arid Region

Provide shade to cool your home’s walls, windows and roof.

Naturally cool your home with summer winds.

Cool the air around your home with plants.

Hot-Humid Region

Channel summer breezes toward your home to cool it.

Use trees to shade your home in the summer but allow the sun

to warm it in the winter.

Avoid locating planting beds that require frequent watering

close to your home.

Cool Region

Use dense windbreaks to protect the home from cold

winter winds.

Ensure the winter sun reaches south-facing windows.

Shade the south and west sides of your home from the summer

sun, if summer heat is a problem.

What’s the difference?

Deciduous vs. Evergreen.

Plant a 6-8 foot deciduous tree near your home, and it will

start shading your windows in the first year. Depending on the

species and the home, it will shade the roof in 5-10 years.

Windbreaks to the north, west and east of houses cut fuel consumption by an average of 40 percent,

according to a study in South Dakota.

The landscaping strategies you use depend on where

you live in the U.S. and your home’s microclimate.

What’s amicroclimate?

FACT: In tree-shadedneighborhoods, the summer daytime air temperature can be up to 6 degrees cooler

than in treeless areas.

#DidYouKnow: Awell-planned landscape can reduce an unshaded home’s air conditioning costs by 15-50 percent.

50%

Deciduous trees block solar heat in the summer but

let in sunlight during the winter.

Evergreen trees and

shrubs provide continuous

shade.

Always group plants with

similar water needs together.

Reduce the use of turf and use

low-water-using types of turf grass.

Organize your turf grass in continuous

patterns -- it's easierto maintain and uses

less water.

Use mulch to keep plant roots cool,

minimize evaporation and

reduce weed growth.

Water in the morning when it is cooler and

evaporation rates are low.

Aerate your soil -- itimproves water flow to plants’ roots and

reduces water runoff.

In the summer, raise your lawn mower cutting height -- longer grass

blades help shade each other & retain more water.

#DidYouKnow:

Plant evergreen trees and shrubs to

the north and northwest of yourhome to stop wind.

The distance between your home

and windbreak should be two to fives times the height of the mature

tree for maximumprotection.

Install a fence or wall in addition toevergreen trees to

deflect the wind over your home.

If snow tends to drift in your area, plant low

shrubs on the windward side of the windbreak totrap snow before it blows

next to your home.

Plant trees on either side of your house to direct cooling wind toward it in

the summer.

Design your landscape to not only save energy but also conserve water.

Plant deciduous trees to the south

of your home -- theycan screen 70-90

percent of the hot summer sun

while allowing breezes through.

Plant trees with crowns lower to the ground onthe west if you want to shade

from lower, afternoon

sun angles.

Plant bushes, shrubs or

climbing vines with a trellis to shade your

patio area.

To cool air before it

reaches your home, plant shrubs and

groundcover plants.

TRIMMING FUTURE PROBLEMSAs you can probably guess, weather-related events cause the majority of power outages for Wake Electric. But vegetation—trees, shrubs, brush—growing too close to power lines and distribution equipment also lead to power interruptions.

To “cut back” on potential tree-related problems, Wake Electric operates a year-round right-of-way maintenance program. Our contractors look for foliage growing under lines, overhanging branches, leaning or other types of “danger” trees that could pull down a power line if they fall, as well as trees that could grow into lines.

In working to keep a safe, reliable, and affordable supply of power flowing to your home or business, we need your help. Let us know if you notice trees or

branches that might pose a risk to our power lines. Even more important, before planting trees in your

yard, think about how tall they may grow and how wide their branches may spread. As a rule of thumb, 25 feet of ground-to-sky clearance should be available on each side of our utility poles to give power lines plenty of space. Choose tree varieties with care and plant with power lines in mind.

Thanks for your help as we work together to keep electricity reliable. To report trees you think may pose a problem, call 919-863-6300 or 800-474-6300. To find out more about proper tree planting, visit www.arborday.org.
