In this paper we propose a methodology for designing sustainable High Environmental Quality social housing. Modified to take into account Cameroonian specificities in terms of construction standards and where scores have been assigned to all basic targets. Enriched by the introduction of a fifth family reserved solely for social housing. Procedures for assigning scores to the basic targets and determining the performance level of targets were proposed. The criteria that a dwelling must meet in order to be a “sustainable High Environmental Quality social housing” have been defined. This approach has been used to design a High Environmental Quality social housing in Cameroon.
