3 National Housing and 1Urban Development. 2

4 The National Housing Policy is a model focused on promoting the orderly and sustainable development of the sector, to improve and regularize urban housing; as well as to build and improving rural housing. 3

5 . Urban model before 2012 The National Housing Policy, in order to bring down the housing backlog was characterized by promoting the production of mass housing. 40% of production was concentrated in five developers. Less coordination between institutions: SHCP - SHF / INFONAVIT - FOVISSTE / CONAPO CONAVI SEDESOL Few or no criteria for site selection. Beginning of implementing actions to pave the way for sustainable development and housing Actual urban model Promoting Sustainability in 3 areas: Environmental Control of urban sprawl, advances in efficient design and quality of housing and sustainable urban design. Economic Use of existing urban infrastructure and equipment, services, transportation due to the better housing location and cost savings by improving energy efficiency of housing. Social Improve of wellness through more comfortable spaces and better location. 4

9 Why implement a policy for Sustainable Housing? 1 There are 31.6 million households, of which 8.9 million are in housing deficit in Mexico. 2 The residential sector is responsible for 16.2% of energy consumption in Mexico and around 4.9% of CO 2 emissions.* 3 The current National Housing Policy aims to address the housing backlog, improving the quality of housing, the location and the environment in which it is located. 4 Mexico is committed internationally, to reduce emissions CO2e to 50% below 2000 by 2050 *IDEA Foundation (2013).

11 NAMA for Sustainable Housing WHAT IS NAMA? NAMA is a set of actions that developing countries carry out voluntarily to contribute to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gases emissions. Developed countries are committed to support meaningful mitigation actions of developing countries through: funding, technology transfer and construction / capacity building; in a way that is measurable, reportable and verifiable. It aims to transform the housing sector of the country in a low -carbon competitive market. Generating direct benefits and co - benefits. Currently it is already being implemented. Main Benefits: Economical Savings (Gas, Electricity & Water) Fostering the development of a Green National Industry Improve of comfort and wellness Capacity building Improve the housing quality and bioclimatic design Better revenue and decreases energy subsidy 10

15 Implementation of Mexican Housing NAMA Technical Component 4 million Euro, 11/ /2017 Policy framework: Strengthening the NAMA as a public policy Systematization of MRV Supply-side: Capacity building to medium and small project developers. Technology transfer. Integrated application of the NAMA. Demand-side: Awareness-raising for final users and local authorities. Financial Component 10 million Euro, 01/ /2020 Financing-side: Credit guarantee program for bridge loans to small and medium-sized developers. Subsidy program benefitting small and medium-sized developers when using selected eco-technologies Project specific advisory services for small and medium project developers. Main objectives: Penetration of basic efficiency standards in the entire new housing market in Mexico Promotion of upgrading energy efficiency standards to more ambitious levels. 14

16 Incentives for Mexican Housing NAMA There is a prioritized subsidy for houses framed under the NAMA program, as a benefit to developers whose buildings use energy efficiency measures to reduce emissions of CO 2. The NAMA houses must reduce at least 20% of CO 2 emissions compared to a conventional house. This prioritization of the resources allocated for subsidy includes projects that meet the technical criteria of the NAMA and are located in urban containment perimeters (PCU). 15

17 Programs & Housing Units for Mexican Housing NAMA LAIF 5000 housing units (2015) 17,000 housing units ( ) housing units (in planning) 8,000-11,000 housing units (in planning) Reduction of at least 20% in CO 2 Emissions. Reduction of at least 20% in CO 2 Emissions. Reduction of at least 20% in CO 2 Emissions. Reduction of at least 20% in CO 2 Emissions. Prioritized Subsidy Preferential Rate in Bridge Loan Until 70% of subsidy for extra cost of measures Credit guarantees, preferential rate, direct subsidy for measures 16

18 Achievements in Sustainability in housing: Mexico is the first country in the world to implement a policy of sustainability focused on social housing in the context of NAMA. In this administration, we have invested about 11 billion 400 million dollars to build a total of 700 thousand homes that integrate energy efficiency measures in water, gas and electricity and generate savings of at least USD$ 25 in monthly energy expenses, to its inhabitants. 22,000 of these homes under construction are NAMA, meaning that they reduce over 20% of greenhouse gases emissions compared to conventional housing. This homes will reduce 800,000 tons of CO2 emissions throughout its life cycle (40 years). In 2015, there have being provided 121,800 subsidies for sustainable housing, which have contributed mitigating 18,000 tons of CO2. The Mexican government has earmarked subsidies, for energy-efficient housing construction, in this administration for more than 2 billion dollars and given the success of this program, we have received 225 million dollars from Germany, the UK and the IDB to promote the construction of such housing. Sustainability programs in housing have received several international awards: Lighthouse Activities Award, UN-COP 19, Varsovia Green Ashden Award, Reino Unido Development of Existing Housing NAMA. Technical design: Step by step retrofit to the optimal energy and environmental performance. In process: Pilot program for the retrofit of 10 homes in Merida. Strategic alliance with FIDE to implement a Guarantee Fund of USD$ 6 million for a line of credit of USD$ 60 million looking for a greater range in GHG mitigation in the existing housing stock (approximately 100,000 actions). 17
