An Integrated Sustainability Performance Criteria Checklist for Sustainable Public Housing Projects

Sharafeddin, Asma A. / Arocho, Ingrid

Public housing (PH) provides a substantial portion of the housing in cities, and the need for it is increasing. PH significantly affects its users’ lives and society; thus, providing sustainable public housing (SPH) is critical to ensure sustainable communities and meet sustainable development goals. Many techniques have been developed to improve sustainable performance in construction projects. However, there is no integration checklist to assess the sustainability performance of SPH. Also, the techniques used to evaluate the sustainable production and performance of construction projects seem ineffective. There is a need to apply a holistic framework that engages all the stakeholders to assess the sustainability performance of SPH. Implementation methods should be developed to ensure the effective application of the framework. This study adapted the Triple Bottom Line plus one (TBL+1) as a comprehensive framework to evaluate PH. This paper aims to develop an integrated sustainability performance criteria checklist (ISPCCL) as a guide to assess sustainability performance throughout the PH lifecycle based on the TBL+1. The project ISPCCL helps understand the significant factors affecting a project’s sustainability performance and balanced project stakeholders’ needs, values, and input to achieve a satisfactory SPH project.
