Energy-Saving Trees April 26 | OEC News

OEC Continues Annual Tree Giveaway Program
For the ninth year in a row, OEC is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to give free trees to member-consumers.

“Members who take advantage of energy efficiency measures in the months leading up to summer can maximize their savings,” said Daniel Lofland, energy efficiency solutions specialist. “We are proud to offer the Energy-Saving Trees program free of charge to our members.”

How the Energy-Saving Trees Tool Works

Energy-Saving Trees is a research-based, easy-to-use online mapping tool that takes the guesswork out of tree planting. By entering simple information about your home and yard, the tool calculates where to specifically and strategically plant trees for the greatest energy- and money-saving benefits.

Why Tree Placement Matters for Energy Savings

Planting the right tree in the right place is key to maximizing the energy-saving benefits that trees provide. When planted properly, a single tree can save a homeowner up to 20% on energy costs.
