drafting of guidelines concerning the applicable technologies in the urban context (fig.2); achieve
the development and / or modification of municipal building regulations in order to make viable
technologies, materials and criteria, aimed at saving energy and enhancing sustainable. The redevelopment of the buildings has been turned to experimentation with materials and energy-efficient construction techniques (table 3).
