Green Building: Interventions for Social Housing

This report defines the rationale for green building intervention on social housing, details international examples of legislative and regulatory frameworks for enabling green social housing and identifies global and regional forms and approaches to green social housing. A range of technical measures for new social housing and environmental retrofitting of social housing are explained, along with the assessment of case studies, best practice and otherwise ineffective cases. As a key lesson, the importance of engaging residents of social housing through awareness raising and behaviour change is emphasised.
