Abstract

In arid climates,such as the Sonoran desert in Mexico,winters are relatively mild,while summers can be quite intense,often leading to high cooling costs. These costs,however,may be potentially minimized with strategic placement of vegetation (trees, shrubs,vines and ground covers)and other landscape elements (water,pavements and pergolas) surrounding the buildings. The objective of this study is to determine how effective is an adequate landscape designing to improve energy savings. In this study,a site in the surroundings of one representative building,has been selected and the analysis of landscape effects,with different scenarios (with and without vegetation)has been done.
