Resumen
EVALUATING THE ENERGY AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS DURING THEIR LIFETIME BRINGS ABOUT UNCERTAINTY, SINCE THERE IS STRONG EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THAT CLIMATE CHANGE (CC) WILL AFFECT INDOOR ENVIRONMENT QUALITY. CC HAS BEEN REFLECTED, AMONG OTHER PHENOMENA, IN A TEMPERATURE RISE THAT IS NECESSARILY RELATED TO THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE OF BUILDINGS. RECOGNIZING POSSIBLE FUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOS AND THEIR POSSIBLE EFFECTS WILL ALLOW IMPROVING THE RESILIENCE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS. TODAY?S BUILDINGS ARE SOURCES OF HIGH ENERGY DEMAND. IN THE CASE OF CHILE, AN ORDINARY HOUSE, DUE TO ITS POOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE, REQUIRES BETWEEN 40% AND 60% OF ITS ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR HEATING OR COOLING, DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION.
