According to the Outdoors/Living Green article in the Better Homes and Gardens August 2009 issue, trees have a major effect on energy savings. Although each site is unique, one study showed that mature trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% and heating needs by 20% which can add up to substantial savings. Please visit the US Department of Energy website at www.energy.gov for more detailed information on the reduction of energy bills.
