Italian term or phrase: relativamente alla normativa in materia di dispersioni termiche
Hello,

This is part of a magazine article on the energy saving techniques employed by a company:

L’impianto fotovoltaico è stato installato in larga parte sul tetto dello stabilimento di produzione, sul quale è stato realizzato un altrettanto importante progetto di risparmio energetico che ha visto la coibentazione per isolamento termico dell’intera copertura e - relativamente alla normativa in materia di dispersioni termiche - il raggiungimento degli obiettivi di trasmittanza imposti per il 2010.

My translation so far: The photovoltaic panels were installed mainly on the roof of the factory, which was involved in an equally important energy saving project entailing the thermal insulation of the entire roof – ???? on the subject of heat dispersion – which enabled the 2010 objectives to be met.

I'm stuck with the meaning of alla normativa in this context.

Thank so much for your help.

Explanation:
Since it says, immediately afterwards, that they managed to meet those requirements, I think you can use this solution, which is less complicated and a bit more elegant. They complied with la normativa, so you can definitely say it!

Hi Sarah - I'm not too sure about breaking the sentence right at the end, that 'due to this' doesn't sound too good to me, but maybe an English native speaker would be a more suitable help
;-)

Explanation:
or with regard to or in relation to.
I've put standards instead of regulations because the regulations and the laws always talking about meeting a given technical certified standard.

Asker: Ciao Sara - Thanks for your answer. Here's my updated attempt based on yours and Jim's suggestions: Photovoltaic panels were installed mainly on the factory roof, which was also involved in an equally important energy saving project entailing, in compliance with heat loss standards, the thermal insulation of the entire roof. Due to this, the 2010 objectives were met. What do you think?

Asker: Thanks Sara. I agree it's a bit stilted so will go for: Photovoltaic panels were installed mainly on the factory roof, which was also involved in an equally important energy saving project entailing thermal insulation of the entire roof in accordance with heat loss standards, due to which the 2010 objectives were met.
