The sustainable urban regeneration project in Bisceglie, coastal town of Apulia, involves the redevelopment of an area close to the railway that, although partially build-up today, live in a state of considerable urban blight worsen both the presence of an old factory with asbestos cover, now abandoned, and a depressed area adjacent to it which, although aimed at public gardens from the P.R.G., is characterized as a neglected "urban void".
The regeneration plan, proposed on private initiative, is to do both:
- the buildings replacement of these abandoned industrial sites with three sustainable standard passive type new buildings, mixed residential and commercial, falling under bioclimatic and sustainable;
- the redevelopment of public garden area designed to be implemented through the creation of an eco-park facilities, real "ecological infrastructure", which with its paths , services and green areas generates an hybrid -integrated system of public and private space.
The final aim is the construction of a piece of the city that constitutes a new urban model capable of regenerating the entire district with which the project faces giving, at the same time, concrete answers on passive houses subject.

The project designed as a result of a pregnant environmental clean-up operations with the simultaneous demolition and reconstruction of a crumbling and disposal buildings, has prevented both the consumption of new land and the construction of new infrastructure being inserted in an already urbanized landscape. In addition, careful evaluation of bio-climatic nature of the site, in order to maximize both passive solar contributions and the prevailing winds in the area, made it possible to achieve both high energy efficiency of buildings, that they can be label as "zero energy ", as well as a low environmental impact for the production and the release of carbon dioxide thus contributing materially to the containment and to the reduction of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. All this has been made possible thanks to low fuel consumption and the reduced heating capacity, both summer and winter, necessary to the built in because all of its building components, as well as being KM zero, were evaluated according to the values required by the regulations of Legislative Decree 311/2006 and the parameters of thermal and acoustic comfort and humidity dictated by the physical construction. Finally, the use of innovative construction techniques, characterized precisely by the careful choice of components, will speed up the construction times, limiting the use of energy in the early stages of construction in addition to ensuring that the energy embodied in buildings is minimized in the event of future dismantling and recycling.

The plant strategy relative to the buildings, decidedly innovative but still based on elements currently available on the market, provides a mechanical ventilation to provide the necessary change of air inside during the winter season while the summer comfort is guaranteed by a system of natural ventilation that exchanges fresh outside air, coming from floors or underground openings to the north and east, with the indoor air warm and rich in carbon dioxide.
The heat production is both passive through solar greenhouses either through a centralized system with hot water meters having the final adjustment of temperature provided by a radiant system for each apartment, fed by hot water (in winter) or cooler (in summer ) produced by the centralized system that also guarantees the production of sanitary hot water, thus replacing completely the traditional combustion plant. For integration of energy production has been provided the installation of solar panels for sanitary hot water production, the installation of PV plant for electrical energy production, storage tanks of rainwater, pertinent green to avoid the heat island effect, residences services as areas for children, parking areas for bicycles and recycling of waste.
