I saw contractors trimming trees in our neighborhood. What will Forest City do about the fact that we have less shade and therefore a greater need to run our air conditioners more?
The trees are trimmed regularly to keep the neighborhood safe and to maintain the trees in a healthy state. Although reducing the amount of shade may affect the air-conditioning load of the homes, since the work is performed throughout the neighborhood, all homes will be similarly affected. Differences in levels of shading from one home to another are accounted for by the 20% buffer zone.
