Abstract
The massive presence of trees in urban environments, particularly in regions with dry mesothermal climates, generates a significant environmental impact on the open spaces of the public domain and consequently on the enclosed spaces of the private domain. The paper presents the development and the initial results of the utilization of an analytical-computational model, specifically designed to assess the availability of solar radiation on horizontal and vertical surfaces of the urban environment shaded by trees as function of several interrelated variables descriptive of urban morphologies typical of the city of Mendoza, in central-western Argentina. The data generated by the model's utilization will be essential for future studies, aimed at assessing the incidence of trees on the solar potential of urban buildings and on the intensity of the urban heat island effect in cities of the region.
