Smart building research is commonly explored in commercial buildings and less studied in the context of social housing. In this context, this article aims to diagnose the main barriers to the adoption of smart buildings' concepts and technologies in social housing projects in Brazil. The 'Expert Interviews' method was used with seven Brazilian experts in the fields of smart buildings and social housing, based on the assumption that experts have special knowledge, which are related to a special field. The main barriers categories identified in this study can be summarised in: 1) economic; 2) policy; 3) social; 4) technical. Based on these results, the study aims to contribute with possible solutions and guidelines to overcome such barriers, and discusses propositions that can be improved into hypothesis for later empirical testing.

“…Our study shows that this is happening not only among marginalized parts of our society but also among highly educated lawyers, who by many measures are high-earners, high-achievers, and professionals. If that is the case, there might be a need to develop new market propositions that are better in dealing with both consumer's expectations and changes in what is considered fair and acceptable (Ciesielska & Li, 2011). Because today's digital content businesses are based on intellectual property laws, significant change in perception of fairness in the area would influence the legal system, so it can serve the needs and beliefs of the public (Green, 1970).…”

Contrary to a popular belief of lawyers having the most strict perception of law, law professionals actually strongly skew toward more favorable views of digital sharing. According to our qualitative study, relying on in‐depth interviews with 50 Harvard lawyers, digital piracy is quite acceptable. It is considered fair, especially among friends and for noncommercial purposes. We argue that this not only can indicate that the existing law is becoming outdated because of its inability to be enforced, but also that ethically it is not corresponding to what is considered fair, good service, or being societally beneficial. The common perception of relying on a fixed price for digital content is eroding. We show that on the verges of business, society, and law, there is a potential for the new paradigm of digital commons to emerge.

“…Furthermore, Holroyled et al, (2010) iden fied other barriers such as the retrofi ng of exis ng homes and buildings, associated cost of fixing smart devices, and usability. The study of Ciesielska and Li (2011) outlined the lack of understanding of user needs, and infrastructure solu ons as the major smart housing barriers. Due to the introduc on of innova ons and technologies applied in smart housing concept, recent studies outlined the major barriers in developing countries as follows (Emmanuel, 2014;Gosden, 2014;Greenough, 2015;Gobbo, Souza & Gobbo, 2016 Slow and precarious electrical system recovery from power interrup ons.…”

A city can be termed smart when it is able to effec vely apply ICT and other smart technologies in achieving intelligent solu ons to everyday challenges posed by the city. In view of this, smart housing concept leverage on smart technologies and data to solve housing problems in smart city projects. In most African smart city projects, the problem lies with the numerous hindrances on techniques to theadop on of Smart housing solu ons.The ini a ve of Nigeria Smart City Ini a ve (NSCI) is to transform Nigerian major urban centers from tradi onal dysfunc onal ci es to modern, efficient, responsive ones capable of sa sfying the needs of present and future genera on of Nigerians.Using Akwa Millennium City project in Nigeria, this study examines the barriers to the adop on of smart housing concept in African smart city projects. Structured ques onnaires were purposively administered to all the staff of Akwa Millennium City project while all retrieved ques onnaires were found suitable for analysis. Descrip ve sta s cs was employed to analyze the data collected from the respondents. Findings depicted that the major barriers could be classified as socio-economic, technical and policy hindrances in the delivery of smart housing in Akwa Millennium City project in Nigeria. It's noteworthy that smart housing concept could be unaffordable due to the most perceived barriers (such as limited consumer demand, retrofi ng of exis ng homes and buildings, lack of financial and financing incen ves, high cost of development, and smart technology as divisive, exclusive or irrelevant) in the development of African smart city projects. This study therefore recommends that developers should focus on socio-economic a ributes in the adop on of smart housing concept to achieve an effec ve planning of smart city projects in Nigeria and Africa at large.
