Rationale and Objective
• Rationale: urbanization -> housing shortage ->
large social housing projects -> little
consideration of quality/sustainability -> defects
and high life-cycle costs, low urban integration
• Aim: promoting sustainability in social housing
projects, ensuring that social housing
programmes include design criteria and
construction practices that support sustainable
building principles
2
Implementation and Activities
• Two pilot locations: São Paulo and Bangkok
• Assessment of BAU and awareness of stakeholders
• Consultation to deliver relevant actions:
– Training and awareness raising;
– Project-specific guidelines;
– Database of technologies and
selection criteria;
– Policy and lessons learned
assessment.
3
Results
• At local level: assessment of opportunities and
making the case for sustainability in social
housing, information on previous experiences,
available alternative technologies, awareness
raising and training: new capacities for further
actions;
• At global level: generic methodology for
replication, including tools (project agenda,
database, site-specific guidelines, training tools,
policy assessment)
4
Lessons Learned
• Stakeholder involvement and communication: from
authority to final user (inhabitant);
• Training and awareness-raising crucial for building
capacity and making the case for sustainability;
• Translation into language understood by stakeholders :
highlight the impact most relevant to the stakeholder’s
concerns;
• Need for concrete implementation and monitoring
including cost-benefit analysis to counter lack of data;
• Continuity and replication.

Innovative management of
project implementation
– Adopt a systemic vision to deliver integrated solutions
– Be open-minded (beyond the construct sector)
– Adapt to cultural environment
– Share a vision
– Find a stimulating environment (good place to create
new solutions) and “Get out of our comfort zone”.

How to align people toward a goal?
Brazil suffered a severe energy crises during 2001

We need to align the society and stakeholders to
get a collective goal to attend their main wishes
• Environmentalists
• Energy supply companies
• User and Owners

•

• Workers

• GHG emissions reduction
• Increase results/profit
• Cost
reduction/comfort/quality
• Increase results/profit
• Increase remuneration
• Increase finance/profit
• Votes/make people happy
• Reduce costs, improve
productivity
• Increase jobs and salary (green
jobs)
15
We need to understand the cultural, emotional and
economic factors that lead people to decide and
work with them to achieve the results we need
• The use of a refrigerator with Procel labeling
results in energy savings of up to 31%
• The use of compact lamps with Procel labeling
results in energy savings of up to 75%
16
Actions being implemented by the CDHU
• 10% more area to the families
• The floor-to-ceiling height (2,4 meters to 2,6)
• Individualized water metering
• Lower maintenance cost (using sustainable strategies for
water, energy, materials, …)
• Solar heating (30.000 units in 1 year)
• Just 5% increase in upfront costs
17
Local Urban Planning:
Attention to integrate buildings in the urban plan
• Transportation and Telecommunications issues
• Commerce and Services to attend the daily necessities
• Schools, Jobs and Recreation Areas
• Energy and Sanitation …
18
Results
More sustainable social houses means better quality of life
for families, with lower costs for housing maintenance and
transportation and could improve school performance of
children, increase productivity, reduce government costs
(like health) and generate wealth for society, with less
environmental impact.
19
Results
Sustainability in Social Houses can be a win win game for families,
government, construction companies, materials industry, workers,
financial system and society as a whole, because the Life-Cycle Cost
Analysis (LCCA) is positive, in other words, we save money in the life
cycle and we could share this for the stakeholders, including users.
