TY - JOUR T1 - Energy Conservation Mechanisms and Potentials of Landscape Design to Ameliorate Building Microclimates JF - Landscape Journal SP - 19 LP - 39 DO - 10.3368/lj.2.1.19 VL - 2 IS - 1 AU - Boyd A. Hutchison AU - Fred G. Taylor AU - The Gritical Review Panel Y1 - 1983/03/20 UR - http://lj.uwpress.org/content/2/1/19.abstract N2 - An assessment of the space-conditioning energy conservation potentials of landscapes designed to ameliorate building microclimates is made. The physical bases for vegetative modifications of climate are discussed, and results of past studies concerning the effects of vegetation on space-conditioning energy consumption in buildings are reviewed. The state-of-the-art of energy-conserving landscape designs is assessed and recommendations for further research are presented. ER -
