“…A literatura recente sobre sustentabilidade das construções destaca a importância de buscar economia e eficiência energética, especialmente através de avaliações técnicas. Diversos estudos concentram-se na experimentação de materiais e técnicas construtivas alternativas e/ou sustentáveis (ARUN et al, 2021;PATI et al, 2023) por vezes promovendo a comparação entre diferentes soluções, em prol de implementações socioeconômicas e ambientais. Na busca pelo desenvolvimento sustentável na construção civil, os temas mais recorrentes nos artigos publicados são correlatos às políticas públicas habitacionais (ABASS, 2021; ADABRE, 2022; FATTI, 2022) e de infraestrutura.…”

“…Notably, emphasis is placed on assessments that target thermal and lighting performance [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Numerous studies concentrate on experimenting with alternative and/or sustainable materials and construction techniques [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], often advocating for comparisons between different solutions that favor socio-economic and environmental implementations. Additionally, the noteworthy topic of clean energy use, particularly with an emphasis on solar energy, deserves highlighting [28][29][30].…”

Sustainability

Nowadays, there are many studies with a significant focus on affordable housing. The relevance of this theme, which is usually the central object of public housing policies, requires an updated review of the problems and challenges to be overcome, especially in terms of sustainability, in favor of an improvement in the quality of products delivered to beneficiaries. This research concentrates on applying the sustainability concept to affordable housing, emphasizing technical, social, and governance aspects. A novel classification framework is introduced, encompassing these aspects in the context of sustainability integrated with affordable housing. A systematic literature review is conducted and more than 100 articles are examined based on bibliometric and bibliographic analyses to highlight the main dimensions and topics involved in the housing public policy sphere. The study has been elaborated based on collecting relevant materials, building a descriptive analysis of the literature examined, highlighting the classification structure that categorizes the studies examined, and evaluating the material identified based on the classification structure. The outcomes aim to spotlight the diverse dimensions of sustainable affordable housing and associated research themes. Furthermore, the research outlines deficiencies in current approaches and outlines a future research agenda for implementing sustainability in affordable housing. It establishes a strong connection between technical, social, and governance aspects of affordable housing and sustainability, considering anticipated approaches, techniques, and challenges.

“…The threshold of affordability varies from region to region, but affordable housing is generally classified as residences for low-to middle-income groups of society [7]. In developing countries, the concept of affordable housing is defined as basic houses for economically weaker sectors, or homes at affordable prices for low-income groups [8]. The USA Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has provided a comprehensive definition of affordable Designs 2022, 6, 4 2 of 20 housing.…”

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a multiracial society with diverse housing and a potential real estate market. This study focused on users’ perceptions of the designs of available and affordable private housing stock in Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman, which are the most populated states (emirates) of the UAE. A literature review and case studies of low- to medium-rise residential buildings were used to determine the parameters defining affordable housing design, and a model was developed of 7 design segments (independent variables) with 39 dependent variables. The model consists of a matrix of 39 design variables, in which each variable is set in a survey tool with a Likert scale to evaluate user satisfaction levels with the designs of their respective buildings. Questionnaires were distributed among the inhabitants of several buildings at different locations in the emirates. This study found that 16 anomalous design factors failed to satisfy users. It is likely that the results of this study will provide a blueprint for dialogue between regional building designers and end users to improve the designs of new buildings. The resulting design assessment matrix can be used for the analysis of residential buildings in other parts of the Gulf Cooperation Council region.
