The Relevance Of Government Strategies Applied To The Generation Of Energy-Sustainable Housing

Abstract

Sustainable Housing Policies in Mexico, have had the basic elements of international regulations, in relation to the construction of energy-sustainable housing, positively impacting the quality of life of the population. In relation to the energy-sustainable housing generated in Mexico, regarding compliance with sustainability in the economy and environmental dimensions, the National Housing Commission (CONAVI), develops sustainable housing programs whose main objective is, on the one hand, to reduce costs of operation of the same and on the other the generation of pollutant emissions. The global and national scenario in relation to the sustainability precepts, related to the decrease in the production and consumption of energy, can represent a reduction in the cost of generating energy and in the payment of the energy consumed in the economic dimension, and in the environmental aspect related to the mitigation of climate change, through the reduction of GHG emissions. Nevertheless; we consider that the above does not represent greater welfare and comfort for families in the social dimension, therefore the concept of sustainable housing established by government strategies in Mexico would be questionable, which justi es conducting research, to analyze and evaluate the impacts and effects, regarding the use of energy in residential buildings, which have been part of the housing programs, where government strategies have been applied for the generation of energy-sustainable housing, in order to know the relevance of such strategies, as well as their contribution for the habitability of the homes generated.
