The effect of
landscaping and architecture
on energy consumption
|

Introduction
Architecture
and Landscaping designed with energy efficiency in mind
can serve as a means of lowering energy consumption. The
key lies in maximizing shade potential in hot hours of
summer days, maximizing the sunlight input in cold
winter days and finally reducing wind-chill with proper
insulation in cold winter days.
Both architectural
design and landscaping designs can contribute to energy
efficiency of a home.

Project
description
In this project you want to focus on the effects of either
landscaping or architectural design. You may also decide to work
on both areas at the same time. You will have to perform some
experiments and discover how each element may help in energy
consumption. You may also make models to demonstrate how such
design elements affect the temperature. |
