“…Thus, the same typology is adopted in different Brazilian cities, resulting in low-quality buildings that do not meet the needs of their users [39]. For example, studies analyzed social housing associations that offer a unique opportunity for renewable energy through the implementation and reduction of social costs for tenants [41]. In this sense, the authors explained how old residential buildings dominated by Romania's construction sector, and it must get guidelines imposed by the European Union by the year 2020 [42].…”

Over recent years in Brazil and Colombia, the social housing programs of these two countries have increasingly become directly related to the concept of green construction and seek to integrate with their respective laws. For example, a series of technological strategies allows bought countries to guarantee a reduction of the environmental impact of traditional construction technologies. Therefore, these actions try to answer the problems in the design of dwellings in Latin America. However, the construction sector reduced productivity and limited innovation in business. Some of the technological management processes in the social housing construction sector only consider the implementation of clean technologies tangentially. This situation is mainly because of general policies since they do not consider different local contexts. It is then worth asking: What impact do the processes of transfer of clean technologies have on social housing in Brazil and Colombia? This systematic review was carried out on scientific papers indexed by the science database from 2013 to 2019. The PRISMA method was applied to this review with an aim to propose a conceptual model for the transfer of clean technology in the production of social housing in Brazil and Colombia. Finally, we identify that the impact of clean technologies transfer on social housing is very low in these two countries.

“…For our purpose, the above discussion shows that existing methods of reviewing can now better accommodate the theoretical, methodological and epistemological diversity of housing studies (Wallace et al, 2006). Systematic reviewing in housing studies adopted realist positions in relation to homelessness (Krahn, Caine, Chaw-Kant, & Singh, 2018;O'Campo et al, 2009;Woodhall-Melnik & Dunn, 2016) and environmental issues (Daly, 2017); and moderate idealist approaches in relation to energy use and habitability (McCabe, Pojani, & van Groenou, 2018;Willis, Phillips, Ryan, Bursac, & Ferguson, 2017), gentrification and gated communities (Atkinson, 2004;Blandy et al, 2003), empty homes (Wallace et al, 2005), mortgage markets (Croucher et al, 2003) and older people's decisions on residential mobility (Roy, Dub e, Despr es, Freitas, & L egar e, 2018).…”

This article develops an approach to systematic literature mapping that can contribute to advancing housing knowledge and theory in three ways. At a basic level, it informs more systematic, balanced and transparent literature reviews than currently performed in housing studies. As a self-contained project, it unravels research gaps, highlights where rich evidence already exists, and indicates changing conceptual approaches. Lastly, as an opening stage to evidence reviews, it informs the review's questions, directions and dimensions. Our approach to literature mapping systematically identifies and explores a comprehensive but non-exhaustive literature related to a broad academic or policy theme. We have adapted established methodological approaches from systematic reviews to our much broader aims and shorter timeframe. By reflecting on five projects, we detail the methodological process so that it could be replicated or adapted in future studies. Besides reflecting on the systematic and less biased retrieval of relevant literaturepertinent to any academic projectwe present insights into synthesising its temporal, geographical, conceptual and thematic trends. We also reflect on some inevitable methodological challenges faced in this process of translation of aims into the narration of findings, which have a wider currency across the social sciences.

“…[21] Recent literature focus on the importance of the relationship between property managers and tenants, pointing of energy efficiency active measures, mainly, managing consumptions; also, through the implementation of educational programs, assuming technical and social-economic strategies. [22][23] The approach must admit a longer time-frame to gather tangible results [24]; relating users' comfort with energy savings, and for the household financial health [23].…”

In the 80's and 90's, the various Portuguese Governments set the goal of rehousing the majority of the low-income families without a proper house, through a program to build Social Housing. Municipalities assumed the role and developed the solutions to meet the needs. The necessities defined priorities, efforts were directed to quantity rather than quality: 120,000 apartments distributed by 24,500 buildings, in 25 years. Designed in-house or contracted out with a conventional approach and a limited budget, around 500 euros/m 2 . The construction was outsourced and hasty, due to time constraints. Although the construction were common, in technology and design solutions, some architectural prizes, National and International, were given to authorial projects. These became symbols of the progressive Portugal Architectural Heritage and of the success of the Portuguese Social Experience, recognized as architectural points of interest, for tourist and specialists. As time goes by, maintenance falls short and requires critical conservation, tenants demand rehabilitation and renovation, mostly to situations related to the loss of comfort and quality, associated with water damages in the constructive solutions. The research regarded the latest European Union policies, on GHG emissions and energy consumption reductions in new building design, to pursue the nZEB's, "nearly Zero Energy Building(s)" concept. By developing a low-cost building renovation founded on new constructive solutions to actualize the envelopes' response: decreasing maintenance's needs and expenses, increasing user comfort while aiming the reimbursement of the investment period. Based on the "Renovation or Rehabilitation -Decisive Gains (RoR-DG)," (Nuno D. Cortiços) benefits were accounted considering achieved savings minus investment: relying on the system's performance, as rated by the key indicators of "Facilities Maintenance Management Model" (Igal M. Sohet and Sarel Lavy). This approach was applied to measure the impact of the first Eco-Neighborhood, applied to a Lisbon social housing park (Bairro da Boavista, Monsanto). Although the Program's positive achievements, the results show a low impact on efficiency. For the future actions it is advisable an overall thermal reinforcement, follow-up measures, additional financial support, and the tenants' commitment.
