“…A thorough literature review was conducted to identify a pool of relevant barriers to socially sustainable residential (multi-apartment) buildings. In the first phase, the research started by gathering the most relevant studies on SS and green building appraisal tools, incorporating four primary sources: (a) research related to the barriers affecting the social aspect of building sustainability ( [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]79,[82][83][84][89][90][91], among others); (b) research related to the barriers influencing building environmental sustainability ( [59,[65][66][67][68]70,[92][93][94][95][96], etc.) in order to identify those that might be common to both aspects; (c) SS reports published by international organizations, such as the United Nations Commission for Sustainable Development-UNCSD [97], United Nations Department of Social and Economic Affairs-UNDESA [98], Eurostat [99], and OECD [100]; (d) green building rating systems (GBRSs): LEED [101], USGBC [102], BREEAM…”

“…The second phase included preparation and tailoring of the Delphi method. The Delphi method is a qualitative method originally developed by Rand Corporation for the U.S. Air Force [114] in the 1950s and adapted a decade later in academia [95]. It is fully accepted by today's scientific community [115].…”

A Platform of Critical Barriers to Socially Sustainable Residential Buildings: Experts’ Perspective

The concept of sustainable cities and communities is endorsed as one of the seventeen goals of sustainable development. Since buildings represent an essential element of the city, they play a primary role in achieving the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of cities. Previous studies have pointed to the lack of emphasis on the social aspect of buildings. Aiming to fill the gap, this research is focused on identifying barriers that hinder the adoption of social sustainability (SS) measures and practices in residential buildings, as a first step in overcoming these barriers and enabling faster achievement of SS goals. The initial platform of barriers was derived from a comprehensive review of the published literature, international reports, and green building rating systems. For the selection of critical barriers, the Delphi method was used with the participation of 60 international experts. Of 58 barriers initially identified from the literature and experts’ suggestions, 29 were selected as important and classified into five groups. Further, in each of these groups three barriers were singled out, the overcoming of which would facilitate and speed up buildings’ SS to the greatest extent. These results provide insight into barriers to SS for policy makers, developers, and planners, invite further studies on this topic, and provide a starting point for other researchers to identify the most relevant barriers in different contexts, i.e., countries and regions with their specific characteristics. This will further create the conditions for the elimination of barriers to SS by focusing on the most critical issues.

Strategies for Realization of Socially Sustainable Residential Buildings: Experts’ Perspectives

Over the recent decades, the concept of social sustainability (SS) has been increasingly recognized as a key component of sustainable development incorporated in sustainable communities’ agendas. However, SS measures and practices have been insufficiently applied and underrepresented with regard to residential buildings. The aim of this paper is to employ experts’ perspectives to identify interdisciplinary, multilevel strategies/drivers for the integration of SS measures and practices into governmental and operational activities in relation to residential buildings. The selected strategies emerged from a detailed literature review and a two-round Delphi survey collecting responses from an expert panel, which were carried out in order to determine the relevancy of the proposed strategies. Of the 38 preselected strategies, 32 were deemed significant. In addition to a number of relevant strategies, the panelists especially recommended disseminating new concepts of growth that would contribute to breaking the link between materialism and social progress and to the adoption of new ways of life characterized by a more harmonious and healthy coexistence of people and the environment. They also suggested a gradual introduction of SS principles into value systems and their implementation in all aspects of personal and social life as an essential precondition for achieving the goals of sustainable development on a large scale. These results lay the groundwork for the incorporation and development of SS strategies by policy makers, developers, and planners and provide a starting point that will allow other researchers to identify the most relevant strategies in different contexts, i.e., countries and regions with their specific characteristics, which will further create the conditions for the more efficient implementation of SS measures and practices and contribute to the fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“…( 34)), señalando la incertidumbre financiera como una de las principales barreras para acometer renovaciones. De hecho, los expertos en conservación de edificios que participaron en el estudio Delphi realizado también en el marco de ROBIM (35), señalaban como una importante limitación en estos trabajos la escasa disponibilidad de información en la práctica, dificultando también el control económico. Disponer, por ejemplo, de datos fiables sobre el comportamiento energético de los edificios, vinculados a aspectos particulares como su estado de conservación, facilitaría una toma de decisiones adaptada a cada caso y el control de la inversión.…”

La falta de información específica relativa al patrimonio edificado es uno de los factores que dificultan su gestión sostenible. Con el fin de promover una adecuada conservación y renovación de los edificios existentes, nuestro trabajo aborda el reto de mejorar el conocimiento sobre edificios existentes, poniendo el foco en sus fachadas. Este artículo presenta el desarrollo de una colección de fichas, con datos clave sobre los sistemas constructivos, para caracterizar las tipologías constructivas más habituales en fachadas del patrimonio edificado español. La colección de fichas recopila, de manera sistemática, información técnica sobre dichos sistemas, con datos relativos a sus prestaciones, propensión a lesiones y capacidad de mejora. Planteadas para poder adaptarse a formatos digitales a fin contribuir a implementar bases de datos holísticas e interoperables en BIM, las fichas de clasificación se diseñaron para ser manejables y adaptables, contemplando su aplicación en trabajos de inspección y diagnóstico de edificios existentes.
