The environment, both the natural and the anthropogenic, is in a state of constantchange. So, too, are the factors influencing the environmental behaviour of buildings. Theconstruction or demolition of a building, for example, implies a change in a set of environmentalparameters which may have influenced the design and construction of the buildings already presentin the area and controlled their environmental performance. These changes depend upon thebuildings’ relative position, as well as their size and other characteristics of form and shell. Thispaper studies the changes in environmental parameters that may occur in an area and are related tothe architectural design and the environmental and energy behaviour of buildings. It also evaluatesand classifies the consequences of such changes and, wherever applicable, attempts to proposemeasures that could predict and control their results.
