Air-Conditioning With Trees In Homes
Trees provide natural cooling by shade and transpiration, lowering indoor temperatures and reducing AC use. On winter days they shed leaves to let sun through, warming homes. Plant trees on south and west sides, keeping them at least 20 feet from the house. Hoisington Realty serves Bennington and nearby areas as a member of the Southwestern Vermont Board of Realtors.
