Finally, it is important to mention art. 6 of the Regional Law n. 20/2000 which
acknowledges the development of mobility infrastructures –especially railways- as
conditions that the plans for the transformation of the territory must comply with.
Consequently, the concept is stressed once again that territorial planning must link
the works for the development of settlements with the relevant conditions that
reduce their impacts and that make them compatible with the contexts where the
works are implemented. This also includes interventions to mitigate negative
impacts such as the construction of mobility infrastructures and especially the public transports on railways.
Appendix B
Technical Content of the Requirement on Control of Solar Energy Intake
As part of the Emilia Romagna Region’s General Directorate Territorial and negotiated planning, agreement, the Urban Quality Department, has recently prepared a
list of technical standards relating to building sustainability.
These standards, updated to the latest guidelines in terms of environmental and
energy savings, are currently tested voluntarily by some municipalities in the region.
Regional Administrative Arrangements in fact, does not oblige the adoption of
similar rules, but leaves it to each municipality, the autonomy of decision regarding
the environmental and urban planning.
The Standard I 2 attached, addresses the issue of controlling exposure to the sun,
that if not properly designed, can cause the urban heat islands (UHI).
STANDARD I 2 (for residential and commercial areas and city
neighbourhoods)
The requirement is part of the Family: Energy Efficiency
Need
Contribute to a rational use of climate resources and energy by controlling access of
the sunbeams to the building structures, to the active solar and passive systems and
outdoor living spaces through the use of an integrated design approach that controls
the solar energy and direct and indirect effects that can generate to outward microclimate and buildings.
Scope
Uses: for all purposes (residential and commercial buildings, city neighbourhoods)
Performance Level
The performance levels are reported separately within the winter and summer sunshine and in compliance with the methodology of integral design; the solutions must
meet both conditions.
