Habitação eficiente e modernizada: conceituação domótica para habitação de interesse social

Abstract

Discussing how we can contribute to the development of society, not only as professionals, but also as people, involves reviewing the concept of housing. It’s not just a place where residents meet their needs, exchange Information and anxieties, experiences and feel safer. It’s not enough for this housing solution to offer minimum conditions of safety, durability, size, health and access for residents to support activities: commerce, schooling, transport and essential services. Thus, this work intends to answer, even if in part, the reason for the resistance of the civil construction industry to bring to Social Interest Housing (SIH), automation technology that makes them more energy efficient, even if proportional to the typology and consumer range. It shows that the technological backwardness of civil construction is rooted in political, economic, corporate, educational and cultural factors. It starts, therefore, from a qualitative analysis, separating the different typologies of SIH, conceptualized by corporations, universitys and specialized advertising clipping to the most representative one (two bedrooms with a máster, bathroom, living room and kitchen combined or not with laundry). It demonstrates, in summary, that this energy efficiency and sustainability can be translated into comfort, safety and other benefits at a very reasonable cost, little modifying the parameter of the “Minha Casa Minha Vida” Program (PMCMV, 2020). Finally, it points out the tools, among achievable techonology and improvements of the workforce, which can lead not only to better indicators of the PMCMV but also to real solutions.
