Tips for planting shade trees in helpful landscaping
The DOE says shading is the most cost effective way to cut solar heat gain and air conditioning costs.

Evergreen windbreaks should be north or northwest with spacing two to five times the tree height. Plant trees on both sides to direct cooling winds.
