Energy-efficient landscaping
What is energy-efficient landscaping?
Energy-efficient landscaping can help lower energy bills for many years to come.
Well-designed landscaping methods, such as carefully planning and planting the right selection of trees and vegetation in the right places, provide targeted summer shade from the sun, as well as winter warmth and wind protection for your home. This enhances the efficiency of heating and cooling systems, 节约能源, and helps lower energy bills year-round.
