• Improve housing quality and affordability: With the funds from this campaign, In-vest will rehabilitate a ruin in the municipality of Almeirim, improving its energy efficiency and thermal comfort, while enabling the two-bedroom unit to be inhabited once again, with affordable prices.
• Improve resource use efficiency and thermal comfort: 94 square meters will be rehabilitated with the funds of this campaign, focusing on improvements in energy and water efficiency and thermal comfort. The improvements include installing class-A efficiency windows, taps, and toilet flushing with lower water flow and flushing with two capacities, second ceilings, doors substitution to avoid temperature loss, substitution of gas equipment by electric, and installation of solar panels for self-consumption energy production. The rehabilitation can also include electric vehicle chargers, a deposit for rainwater recovery and use, a prepared space for community vegetable gardens and fruit trees.

• Contribution to housing availability and access:  Through In-vest’s activity, 66 housing units have been rehabilitated and sold, and 6 other housing units are currently rented out. Through their activity, they contribute to increasing housing quality and focus on affordable rent and selling prices. Currently, 16 people are living in the rented units, and over 190 people are estimated to be living in the units that were sold after renovation.
• Awareness of water and energy saving for daily life: In-vest informs and supports future owners/renters about the importance of saving water and energy, explaining the benefits of using Portuguese-sourced materials, LED lamps, avoiding gas equipment, about the efficient functioning of solar panels and use of equipment during day time, about water saving measures such as using “eco” programs on washing machines and of saving the cold water before the shower to use in the garden or the toilet. 
• Promoting opportunities and economic participation for women: Joana Pereira is the administrator of the promoter company, In-Vest, and places gender equality as an important pillar of its activities. In addition, the team working on the renovations is made up mostly of women, with women architect and engineer.

A In-Vest, com sede em Lisboa, tem como missão colocar o investimento ao serviço da melhoria da sustentabilidade do parque habitacional para a classe média e média baixa.

O promotor está sensibilizado pelo facto da 71.93% da população portuguesa ter vencimentos entre 10.000€ a 40.000€ por ano (IRS_2019_2021.pdf) e pelo esforço financeiro que a reabilitação habitacional poderá representar para estas famílias. Mas sendo esta a classe económica em que se encontra a maioria das pessoas é aqui que o promotor conseguirá maximizar o seu impacto na área do imobiliário. 

A In-Vest pretende contribuir para um mundo onde existe investimento em eficiência energética em apartamentos que serão revendidos ou arrendados às classes médias- baixa ou classe média-média. Os investimentos são feito tendo como base as sugestões de melhoria apresentadas na certificação energética, que normalmente, passam pela substituição de janelas, portas, equipamentos a gás e reutilização de materiais e equipamento sempre que possível. Adicionalmente o promotor dá prioridade ao uso de materiais nacionais e contribui para a mobilização, produção e autoconsumo de energias renováveis em ambiente urbano.

A In-Vest tem como objetivo aumentar a classe energética de cada imóvel no mínimo em 2 patamares, contribuindo para a saúde e o conforto dos seus habitantes, bem como diminuir as emissões de CO2.
