Resumen
THE PROBLEMATIC OF THE ARTICLE RISES FROM THE NEED OF IMPROVING THE THERMAL QUALITY OF THE BUILT ENVELOPE IN THE WALL COM-PLEX, SPECI?CALLY IN THE CASE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE (MOST USED MATERIAL IN HIGH-RISE HOUSING IN CHILE). CONSIDERING THE USE OF INSULATION ON THE INSIDE FACE OF THE WALL, INTERRUPTS THE CONTINUITY OF THE INSULATING MATERIAL WHERE THE MEZZANINE SLAB AND THE PERIMETER WALLS MEET, GENERATING A THERMAL BRIDGE KNOWN AS MEZZANINE FRONT. THE PURPOSE THEN, IS TO KNOW THE IMPACT OF THE MENTIONED THERMAL BRIDGE STUDYING ITS PROPERTIES THROUGH EXPERIMENTAL TESTS ON A THERMAL CHAMBER. LATER, THE RESULTS WILL BE INTEGRATED TO A CASE OF STUDY THAT ALLOWS ESTABLISHING THE INCIDENCE OF THE BRIDGE IN THE OVERALL ENERGETIC BEHAVIOR OF THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF THE RESULTS INTO THE THERMAL ANALYSIS SIMULATION SOFTWARE (TAS). FINALLY, IT IS CONCLUDED A LOW INCIDENCE IN THE INNER HEAT LOSES, BECOMING RELEVANT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE SUPER?CIAL TEMPERATURES.
