Abstract

The paper is based on a case study in Switzerland, the Cantonal Director Plan, expected for the next years, which will change the urban density. The plan allows raising from three to four floors the high of the existing buildings now separated by not too wide streets, to get over up to eight floors, without modifying the width of street layout. A case study located in Paradiso municipality, part of Lugano's city (CH) is used to understand and quantify the impact of the future buildings on the historical heritage energy performance.
