i-Tree Design Resources

It looks like i-Tree Design is your best choice for assessments of individual trees at the parcel level.

This tool links to Google Maps and allows you to see how tree selection, tree size, and placement around your home effects energy use and other benefits.With inputs of location, species, tree size and condition, users will get an understanding of the benefits that trees provide related to greenhouse gas mitigation, air quality improvements and storm water interception. 

With the added step of drawing a house or building footprint—and virtually "planting" a tree—trees' effects on building energy use can be evaluated.
