Sostenibilità ambientale e regolamenti edilizi

The Directive 2010/31/EC construction 2020, introduced a strategy based on upgrading the energy efficiency of buildings and the infrastructure maintenance. Public administrations are rediscovering the centrality of their building regulations and test new control tools and programming and new ways to achieve energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of buildings. The debate on Smart City, having great relevance today, focuses on two important issues strongly related to each other: the RI.U.SO. means the Sustainable Urban Requalification and the review of planning instruments, particularly the Building Regulations, which modification, generally, did not follow the demand for quality and urban sustainability of constructions. The rules contained in the Building Regulations, applied generally to the new buildings, are poorly adapted for the requalification and reuse of the existing building stock.
