This presentation proposes energy efficient housing in South Africa, and presents the economic, social and environmental sustainability challenges it brings. The CSIR's expertise in terms of design, construction methods, material selection, home owner behaviour and systems integration, as well as the CSIR's linkages with national, provincial and municipal governments allows it to implement projects to effectively and efficiently deal with these housing challenges.
