Effects of vegetation on building energy performance
Journal, Research (Article)
This research used computer simulation techniques to test the effects of irradiance and wind reductions on the energy performance of similar base case houses in four distinct climate regions. A computer program that simulates shade cast from vegetation on buildings (SPS) was interfaced with a microcomputer-based building energy analysis program (MICROPAS) to model irradiance reductions. Performance of the relatively energy-efficient base case house was tested in Madison, Salt Lake City, Tucson, and Miami.
