Summary

Describes the monitoring of peak power and cooling energy savings from shade trees in two houses in California, summer 1992. Finds seasonal cooling energy savings of 30%, corresponding to an average daily saving of 3.6 and 4.8 kilowattshour/day. Peak demand savings for the same houses were 0.6 and 0.8 kilowatt (about 27% savings in one house and 42% in the other). The monitored houses were modelled with the DOE-2.1E simulation program. The simulation results underestimated the cooling energy savings and peak power reductions by as much as twofold.
