Abstract

The increased production of social housing brings the issue of the quality of low cost housing units. Combined to these concerns are also environmental requirements which standards for environmentally responsible buildings led to the creation of Buildings Environmental Performance Certification Systems, of which one of the few examples is LEED for Homes. The purpose of this research is an analysis of this certification system, aiming to establish how this tool could be efficient or not in the assessment of residential buildings for use in the Brazilian context.
