| Summary: | The green technology transfer is complex for construction firms. A solution is to analyze it as a social network since, if I identify the different relationships between the actors in the construction sector, it is possible to test the technology adaptation capacity of these actors. The aim was to test the transfer of green technology between international construction companies that dedicated to building social or accessible housing. For this, two countries with the capacity to transfer green technology (United Kingdom and the United States) and two countries with less technology capacity and with the potential to adapt to these technologies (Brazil and Colombia) identified, then 5 construction firms selected for each country with which an analysis of networks (degree, intensity, proximity, and density) and then simulation carried out. As a result, the technology transfer capacity of Latin America companies to accept and adapt technologies from companies in industrialized countries identified, and it hoped to develop indicators of measurement of the technology transfer that allows a better understanding of the complexity of Social Housing. |
