Energy Efficient Landscape
Presented by:
Ar. Bineet Chhajer
Energy and Tree
Trees play tremendous role in
conditioning environment.
Cut off 69% sun’s heat from
the ground.
Reduce wind velocity by 63%.
Reduce dust pollution by 66%.
Reduce noise pollution by 50%.
Planted area cooler in summer
& warmer in winter.
Energy and Tree
Extensive landscaping with trees saves
world from global warming.
Single tree with large structure and thick
foliage:
- Produces 4.8 tons of oxygen per day.
- Consumes 6 tons of CO2 per day.
Tolerable limits CO2 = 350 ppm.
Present level = 390 ppm.
Energy and Tree Lawns, Shrubberies, Hedges, Flower
beds,Ground Material, Water features
Contribute in creating energy efficient
environment.
Beautify buildings.
Add pleasure.
Make areas attractive & comfortable.
But expensive compared to trees.
Productive value is much less.
Efficient use of tree
Essential Qualities of Trees to be Used for
Landscaping.
Trees should be:
Structurally big with abundant foliage.
Very hardy – facing extremes of weather.
Highly durable – having very long life.
Able to stand environmental pollution.
Suitable for agro-climatic conditions.
Indigenous species
Should meet aesthetic requirements.

Urban Landscape Design
Plantation of city roads and streets should be done according to
fundamental design principles.
Density, Diversity, Form, Colour, Scale to be considered while doing
plantation
Urban Landscape Design
Dense plantation produces excellent composition.
Single kind of plants creates excellent collective impact.
Trees with big structures & spreading crown creates green tunnel
Urban Landscape Design With close planting
trees develop:
Tall straight trunk.
Narrow high crown.
Does not obstruct views
of the city.
Urban Landscape Design Tall & large sized
plants are suitable
for narrow streets.
Look fantastic &
according to scale.
