Abstract

First of all, we will introduce the thermal comfort conditions for the climatic zone where the study was carried on. Thermal Habitability will be defined in relation to the specified climatic conditions and the specific characteristics of the housing typology. To measure housing energy consumption Thermal Habitability indicator appears as a different concept of the criteria used in developed nations; climatic conditions and the way housing industry has developed in Chile can justify the use of Thermal Habitability criteria. We will present the methodology used for the measurements collected in the dataloggers and the analysis of the obtained results. We will show the preliminary values for Thermal Habitability for eight residential units taken during wintertime and we will discuss further application of it.
