• Solar Access/ Solar orientation

• Placing a building’s long face on an east-west axis with a large percentage of its windows on the south side can reduce fuel consumption by up to 25%. Buildings realize even greater energy savings by integrating other passive solar design elements, such as light colored walls, increased insulation (aumento dell’isolante), and night ventilation

• Appropriate development volumes vertically and horizontally
