There are many different factors that have an influence on the temperature in your home. In the summertime, you might think that your AC is the only thing that keeps your home cool, but there are a few other methods you can use that can help regulate the temperature. One of them is using landscape shading to your advantage. Trees have a twofold effect in which they cool you down. When you step underneath the shade of a tree, you automatically feel cooled down. This is not just an effect of the shade, there is also a lot of water vapor given off by trees further cooling down the air around them. Your home can also benefit from this effect, but you will need to have trees planted close enough to your home to offer some relief. It is possible to lower your annual cooling cost by about 10% by using trees to your advantage.
