Between new constructions and refurbishment plans, how urban areas must adapt to be accessible, sustainable and in line with the new lifestyles? What are the new responses and solutions that the social housing sector should give? The second part of the day will be focusing on the work carried out by the POWER HOUSE nearly Zero TaskForces and to CECODHAS Housing Europe Award ceremony. Beside the official award issued by the SDE2014 Committee, a Team of Jurors coordinated by CECODHAS Housing Europe, composed by high level Social Housing Experts including Directors of both National Federations and Local Housing Companies, Technical & Building Physics Experts and Specialists in Housing Regeneration Programmes, Fuel Poverty and innovative approaches to working with low income and vulnerable households, will award the CECODHAS Housing Europe Award For a Fair Energy Transition in the EU. This award will be based on usability and affordability (both in the construction and use phase) criteria from the perspective of the residents and the providers. This mix of Jurors' skills and competences will assure that the evaluation of the proposed projects will be made from different angles and therefore that usability and affordability criteria from the perspective of the residents and the providers will be reflected in the jury s choice. 1
