Abstract:
The EU 2050 carbon neutrality target drives growing interest in renewable energy (RE) integration in building design, yet social housing organizations face difficulties integrating them early in design due to complexity and high upfront costs.  This paper presents a three-step method based on the Set Based Design approach to define the design space using a morphological chart. This offers a robust and adaptable framework to formalize and structure domain-specific knowledge, clarifies design options, and supports informed decision-making for RE integration in social housing design.
