This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Landscape, LANDSCAPE Natural Solar Shade - Shading by trees and vegetation cools the ambient hot air and protects the building from solar radiation - Usually east and west oriented windows and walls receive about 50% more sunshine than the north and south oriented windows/walls (Garde, 2004), LANDSCAPE Ground Surface Treatement - Paved surfaces can absorb and re-radiate great quantities of heat - Incorporate with intervening patterns of grass cover and shade by some form of architectural element -Lighter colours with rough surface finishes reduce glare -Overhead structures, both attached and unattached, reduce heat absorption and re-radiation from the horizontal and vertical surfaces
