I have been saying that "Trees are the best solar collectors". I think it comes down to political culture. Here in Toronto we have very strong tree preservation by-laws even on private property. We must have this, trees are sacrosanct. We have begun to value our tree canopy and the more advanced see the urban forest as green infrastructure. I am a renewable energy professional and we worried early on that bad examples from the US of cutting trees for solar gain would infiltrate. In the Solar Neighbourhoods program <a href="http://www.solarneighbourhoods.ca/wrap_report.pdf">http://www.solarneighbourhoods.ca/wrap_report.pdf</a> we tried to keep the panels in the sun, even though solar thermal can take some shade (solar PV not so). Careful siting led to success. Preservation of the urban forest is economic valuable in many ways. This includes recovery of dead trees for everything from furniture to biomass energy <a href="http://www.yourleaf.org/urban-wood-resources">http://www.yourleaf.org/urban-wood-resources</a>. Biomass is largest source of renewable energy in Europe. We must design holistically here.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><br> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.toronto.ca/environment"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1025" src="wlmailhtml:%7b667AF1C4-CC09-4D42-906B-F06F21669F3F%7dmid://00000100/!cid:TTPIRMMLBLGY.IMAGE_2.png"></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>>>> <<a href="mailto:canufnet-request@list.web.net">canufnet-request@list.web.net</a>> 12/18/2014 1:11 PM >>><br>Send CANUFNET mailing list submissions to<br> <a href="mailto:canufnet@list.web.net">canufnet@list.web.net</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> <a href="http://list.web.net/lists/listinfo/canufnet">http://list.web.net/lists/listinfo/canufnet</a><br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> <a href="mailto:canufnet-request@list.web.net">canufnet-request@list.web.net</a><br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br> <a href="mailto:canufnet-owner@list.web.net">canufnet-owner@list.web.net</a><br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of CANUFNET digest..."<br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.
