The south facade always receives the most sunlight, while in summer, the east and west facades are the most exposed to the sun. In that way, the rooms that do not require much solar heating face north (corridors, staircases, hallway) and living spaces placed facing south, east or west (living room, kitchen, bedrooms).\u00a0<\/p><p>The buildings are kept <strong>compact<\/strong> to reduce their surface area.

Its application should take effect from summer 2021 and will gradually affect individual housing, collective housing and buildings in the tertiary
