PLANT COOLING TREES A single medium-sized tree in your yard can have the cooling effect of 600,000 BTUs of air conditioning per day. This is equivalent to about five room airâ€"conditioners running 20 hours daily. If you're lacking trees, you can out future energy bills by planting some this fall. Unfortunately, it takes time for young trees to mature. In the meantime, consider planting vines alâ€" ong your house walls, especially areas that get the full force of summer sun. Quickhgrowing vines such as Boston Ivy grow six to ten feet a year. Leaves willblock hot sun and, in addition,con- vection currents developing behind the leaves will draw warm air away from the house walls.
