Low Impact Development (LID) is an approach to stormwater management and site development that is gaining popularity throughout the country. Its attractiveness lies in its potential to lessen off-site stormwater impacts, reduce costs to municipalities and developers, and promote development that is “softer on the land” compared with typical traditional development. The approach, which is applicable to residential, commercial and industrial projects, and in urban, suburban and rural settings, often is linked with efforts by governments and citizens to foster more sustainable communities.

Site design and land use concepts are extremely important for housingdesign and urban renewal concept, especially when their relates toenergy conservation and sustainable development. The solution presented willinclude the investigation of microclimate elements along with the actual moni-toring data. The solution is finally used for designing the future bio-solar homewhich has proved to be very successful.
