The aim of NAMA is to supplement on-going initiatives for energy-efficient housing as laid out in Mexico's Special Climate Change Programme and as currently operated by INFONAVIT. The two objectives of the NAMA are:
- 1. Extend penetration of basic efficiency standards to the entire new housing market in Mexico
- 2. Upgrade efficiency standards to more ambitious levels
Activities: (2012 - 2020)
Substantial up-scale of the housing programs "Green Mortage" and "Esta es tu casa" through increased subsidies and more ambitious efficiency standards leading to the Eco Casa 1 target value. Eco Casa 2 and Passive House are planned for more aggressive, mid-term certifications.
It has been planned two phases of development:
- 1 st phase (2012-2016): The target group is new buildings, primarily for low-income families. During 2012 and 2013, the only standards foreseen are Eco Casa 1 whereas Eco Casa 2 will be introduced the following years. Programmed measures will bring about a primary energy consumption benchmark, several workshops, and model projections.
- 2 nd phase (2016-2020): The plan of actions has not been scheduled yet but it will be extended to the existing housing stock.
Pilot Passive House projects are planned during both phases of development.
The IDB arrived at the NAMA table early by cofunding Mexico’s first recorded NAMA in the housing sector.
