SMART Landscape' is a significant contribution to the conversation on sustainable landscape design, providing energy efficient models and water saving landscape ideas.
There are many factors that would help realise energy efficient landscapes, including (but not limited to) the use of energy saving lamps, such as LED; the integration and adoption of renewable energy, including solar-powered and wind-powered landscape lighting; energy-efficient landscape design, particularly through the correct placement and selection of shade trees, and the creation of wind breaks.
This book shows techniques for creating landscapes that also save water, for example by choosing correct planting materials; reducing stormwater run-off through the use of bio-swales, rain gardens and green roofs and walls; reducing water usage in landscapes through best-practice water-wise garden techniques, including irrigation using grey water. Permeable paving materials can also help to reduce stormwater runoff and allow rainwater to infiltrate into the ground and replenish groundwater rather than run into surface water systems. 0aLandscape architecture and energy conservation. 0aUrban landscape architecture.  aCoyle, Martin.  2ddccBKn0  00102ddc40708NON-FIC (BK)aMEDINIbMEDINIcGENd2026-02-11eIMS BOOKS TRADING SDN BHDg250.00l0o712.2 MOD 2017 c.1p00001589r2026-02-11t1v250.00w2026-02-11yBK  c1306d1306
