The Southern African Housing Foundation on Tuesday said it was working with government to accelerate housing delivery in the Western Cape.
The Foundation hosted the International Housing Conference in Cape Town on Monday.
Delegates from around the globe attended the event looking to network with other housing experts around the use of green technology in future housing projects.
The Foundation’s CEO John Hopkins said in South Africa it was paramount to specifically look at energy-saving measures for low to middle-income housing.
“There is a very important focus at the moment on water heating systems where Eskom is providing subsidies and grant systems to provide water heating for all housing,” he added.
He said the event was a great way to bolster international investment in local housing projects and for “various organisations from Taiwan through to South Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America as well, that are also represented here, to get together and actually solve some of the important challenges South Africa faces."
