Climate Resilience in Urban Areas
Climate Resilience in Urban Areas

Summary/Abstract: The current context, requires the built environment, buildings and public space, to respond to the need to adapt to climatic conditions, all the more so as it represents the space in which we carry out our activity and which is directly responsible for ensuring comfort and health conditions.Therefore, in the construction of new buildings, as well as in major renovation programs, climate change will be taken into account by adopting technological and architectural solutions that ensure resilient living conditions and at the same time a reduced environmental impact. The concepts of climate sensitive building / urban planning derive from the need to plan a man-made environment adaptable to these changes by designing buildings capable of responding to the aggressiveness of the natural environment.The nZEB concept through zonal energy re-configuration projects can be a strategy for resilient urban adaptation. In this context, a multi-criteria approach is needed for the zonal renovation projects so that the energy re-configuration strategy is put in relation with the analysis of the conditions for resilience, by extending the design decisions.
