The document discusses the strategy, development, and challenges of thermal regulation of housing in Chile. It provides statistics on housing, population, and energy consumption from 1985-2008. It outlines Chile's zoning system and the progressive stages of its thermal regulation: 1) The first stage in 2000 focused on roofing requirements. 2) The second stage in 2007 expanded requirements to walls, windows, and floors, and involved private industry groups in the design and information system. 3) Future stages may include energy certification. Programs now aim to improve energy efficiency in housing through certification, retrofitting subsidies, and coordination between the Ministry of Housing and the new Energy Ministry and Agency.

• “Housing Quality Commission” Ministry of Housing
1992 and Urbanism – MINVU
• Quantity and “Quality”
1994 • Design of a Housing Thermal Regulation Program –
MINVU
2000 • The 1° stage of the Housing Thermal Regulation
came into force - MINVU
• The 2° stage of the Housing Thermal Regulation
2007 came into force.
• Ministry of Housing and Urbanism and Instituto de
la Construccion
2010 • Creation of the Energy Ministry
2010? • Energetic Certification of Housing?
José Pedro Campos R. – Executiive Director 7

8. STRATEGY – Design of the Thermal Regulation
1994 – Program Design
• Previous experience of the Incentive Program (economic) to the
Thermal Conditioning – PIAT (1991)
• Obligatory Compliance, in all kind of housing, in all the country
• General Ordinance of Urbanism and Constructions
• Policy - Sequence
• 1° To Avoid and minimize the Energy Losses (isolation)
• 2° To use and maximize the External and Internal gains
• 3° In case of heating needed, efficient system, cheap and no
polluting
• Conditions of the Regulation:
• Easy to understand
• Easy to apply
• Easy to control
José Pedro Campos R. – Executiive Director 8

9. STRATEGY – Design of the Thermal Regulation
1994 / PROGRESSIVENESS
• Housing and then tertiary buildings (housing policy)
• Behavior of the construction elements – Thermal
transmittance ( and then energy demand)
• 1° Stage: Roofing and zoning of the country
• 2° Stage: Walls, Windows and Floor (ventilated)
• 3° Stage: Energetic Certification
José Pedro Campos R. – Executiive Director 9

10. STRATEGY – Design of the Thermal Regulation
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
To Improve Life Quality of the Population
• Greater Habitability
• Greater Health
• Less Pollution
• Less Indoor Humidity
• Greater Durability
To Reduce and optimize the energy consume in heating - EFFICIENCY
• The reduction of energy expense is not necessarily expected
• It is expected to improve the Thermal comfort of the present consume
• To reduce energy consume in housings through central heating
To Promote and stimulate the productive, academic, gremial and research
activities
•To contribute to the development of the country
José Pedro Campos R. – Executiive Director 10

11. DEVELOPMENT - 1° Stage of the Thermal Regulation 2000
Design of the Thermal zoning for
applying the regulation
• Hugh climate diversity
• 4.500 kilometers of latitude
• 200 kilometers of width and
great height difference
• Zoning based on Degree-Day
(base 15°C)
• 7 zones for all the country
• 3 zones per district maximum
José Pedro Campos R. – Executiive Director 11

12. DEVELOPMENT - 1° Stage – Roofing 2000
Considerations to determine the demands
• Economic income-yield capacity: cost of investment versus saving in fuel
• 4 ways to demonstrate the complying of the demands
• Commercial supplies and thicknesses
• Article 4.1.10.- General Ordinance of Urbanism and Constructions
