Abstract

In this paper an overview of the design criteria adopted within the new Sicilian regional energy plan has been critically reported. Particularly, it is here pointed out the role played by the sustainability constraints referring to the limitation to the recourse to fossil fuels and the important role played by the new European Directive on the Energy Efficiency of Buildings (EPBD). The penetration in time of renewable energy sources has been argued, in sigh of reducing the energy consumption at the year 2012 up to 20% of the present ones. Moreover, these new induced energy performances of buildings have been matched with the changes in indoor thermal comfort conditions.

Keywords. energy performances of buildings; indoor comfort; renewable energy sources
