Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore sustainable prototypes of social housing in Chile, as the basis of a bioclimatic architectural design. This focuses on the use of renewable energy and sustainable development. Regarding the case, it is about social housing prototypes that acquire bioclimatic characteristics through climatic conditioning strategies, therefore they are related to energy efficiency, the place in which they are located and sustainable construction with low CO2 emissions. This case is selected, because the construction industry today presents a constant challenge for sustainable development, therefore these sustainable housing proposals appear as an applicable solution for this issue. The methodology is carried out through a constructive analysis of a typical dwelling to understand the decisions made and how bioclimatic strategies influence the habitability of the building. This will be complemented with the study of secondary sources to explore the application of the referenced strategies. It is concluded that bioclimatic social housing in Aysén allows sustainable development over time, given the strategies with which they are designed, the material chosen and their efficiency with respect to energy saving.
