Transforming the Progressive Housing Market: Innovation Introducing Paradigm Shifts from the Demand Side

Context

This housing laboratory (ViLab) explored an innovative approach to fostering a vibrant market for retrofitting solutions in progressively built homes, promoting a positive shift in demand behavior.

This paradigm shift aims to help families make more informed decisions when making significant investments, primarily through their savings, to ensure that their homes are safer and healthier.

In this context, the webinar gathered experiences and insights on introducing the retrofitting service for progressively built homes, which involves conducting a housing assessment and implementing retrofitting solutions by a trained foreman.
