Screen Porch in Sneads Ferry NC 28460

The Sunroom Store added screen porch walls and 4-Track Panels to protect the space from wind, rain, and dust that would come into an ordinary screen porch.

Landscaping and Your Regional Climate
The energy-conserving landscape strategies you use should depend on which region you live in.
The United States can be divided into four approximate climatic regions: temperate, hot-arid, hot-humid, and cool. See the map to find your climatic region. Below you’ll find landscaping strategies listed by region and in order of importance.
Temperate Region- Maximize warming effects of the sun in the winter.
- Maximize shade during the summer.
- Deflect winter winds away from buildings.
- Funnel summer breezes toward the home.
Hot-Arid Region
- Provide shade to cool roofs, walls, and windows.
- Allow summer winds to access naturally cooled homes.
- Block or deflect winds away from air-conditioned homes.
Hot-Humid Region
- Channel summer breezes toward the home.
- Maximize summer shade with trees that still allow penetration of low-angle winter sun.
- Avoid locating planting beds close to the home if they require frequent watering.
Cool Region
- Use dense windbreaks to protect the home from cold winter winds.
- Allow the winter sun to reach south-facing windows.
- Shade south and west windows and walls from the direct summer sun, if summer overheating is a problem.
It’s also important to consider your home’s microclimate in your landscaping strategy.
