Climatic zoning for building construction in a temperate climate of Chile

In addition, we considered the possibility of the climate severity index method application for climatic zoning in the study area. Due to this method, we identified the relative differences of energy demand for heating and cooling for the same building in different climatic conditions. The climatic zones were identifying based on the Technical Building Code of Spain. As a result, we detect three climatic zones for this regions in Chile and it was found that they were similar to the regions of northwest Spain. And finally, there was an analysis of the spatial distribution of the thermal and climatic zones and a comparison of the construction recommendations for each one of them.
