¿Cómo planificar viviendas verdes y resilientes? from edX

¿Sabías que una acción ante el cambio climático también se puede llevar a cabo mediante la incorporación de estrategias verdes y resilientes en la vivienda?

Pero ¿qué significa que una vivienda se considere verde y resiliente?

O ¿es posible implementar estrategias verdes y resilientes en viviendas ya construidas o antiguas?

Te invitamos a participar en este curso para profundizar a las respuestas a estas preguntas y aprender sobre diseño de viviendas verdes y resilientes con los expertos del BID.

El sector de la vivienda verde está creciendo rápidamente y representa un gran nicho de mercado, se estima que la construcción verde residencial alcance los 15,7 billones de dólares en 2030, una gran oportunidad para que los actores del sector privado adapten sus modelos de negocio según la demanda cambiante de los consumidores, el apetito de los inversores y las regulaciones mundiales.

La vivienda es una de las condiciones sociales básicas que determina la calidad de vida y el bienestar de la población. La agenda del programa Hábitat II en la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Asentamientos Humanos en Estambul (1996), enfatizó la necesidad de atender la demanda de vivienda desde una perspectiva que no sólo provea un techo capaz de prestar refugio a las personas, sino que también proporcione confort térmico, saneamiento y adaptación a las condiciones medioambientales del entorno de la vivienda, así como también, sea accesible y asequible para todos los diferentes grupos sociales.

Entre los temas que se abordarán en este curso están los fundamentos de una vivienda verde y resiliente, herramientas y estrategias para un diseño verde basado en tecnologías modernas y convencionales, incentivos y productos para el financiamiento verde.
