I am Assistant Professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, School of Civil Construction. My main research interests are two: (1) the physical processes affecting energy consumption, thermal environments, and air quality in sustainable buildings; and (2) the construction waste management to enhance the productivity and sustainability of the construction industry.
Global warming will affect the heating and cooling energy demands of houses. Thus, it is necessary to measure this impact in different areas of a country to influence future public policies, guidelines, and regulations. This paper proposes to forecast the energy demand for five house archetypes located in eight cities in Chile. These archetypes are thermally insulated according to current regulatory standards given by the country. They were simulated using the simplified hourly model from the international standards ISO 13790, considering climatic conditions between 1990 and 2010 and projected climatic conditions between 2045 and 2054. Three climatology models: a) Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC-ESM), b) Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Climate System Model 5 (IPSL-CM5A), and c) Community Climate System Model (CCSM4) in the context of two representative concentration pathways: 4.5 and 8.5 W/m2 are used to forecast future climate. The most significant results show that energy demand for heating could decrease by 35% on average while cooling energy demand could significantly increase for cities such as Antofagasta and Santiago.

Faced with implementing policies that seek to improve the energy efficiency of housing and reduce the impact of CO2 emissions, several countries are introducing (unilaterally or by international agreement) energy certification systems that allow the effects of these policies to be evaluated. This study aims to compare the energy efficiency certification systems in Spain and Chile, identifying convergent and divergent parameters, enabling the existing gaps to be identified and improvements noted for both systems. To do so, 20 sample dwellings in Santiago de Chile were evaluated, along with the local calculating tools in both countries. The analysis considered the aspects of regulation, its reach, the characterization of the models and the necessary indicators. The comparison identified, among others, differences such as obligatory implementation of the system, a study of the existing buildings in the focus area, the prevailing indicators for evaluating the effects of the buildings, the low incidence of mixed energy systems in the Chilean system and the possibility of proposing and evaluating improvements in the Spanish system. As a result, higher energy requirements and greater CO2 emissions were identified in the Chilean system, reaching differences of 42 kWh/m2/year in consumption and 14 kgCO2/ m2/year in emissions with regard to the Spanish qualification. The results of this comparison have facilitated the identification of improvements that will increase the evaluation standards of the Chilean system.

Este artículo presenta un estudio de evaluación económica y clasificación de residuos de construcción y demolición (RCD) en un proyecto real ubicado en la Región Metropolitana, Chile. Chile genera más de cinco millones y medio de toneladas de RC&D al año y afectan de múltiples maneras el medio ambiente. A su vez, los RC&D son un síntoma de problemas de productividad. Una adecuada gestión de los residuos requiere una cuantificación de los mismos. Sin embargo, se observa una carencia en la literatura relacionada a la cuantificación de los volúmenes de residuos y su impacto económico (generación, transporte y disposición final). Se encuentra que el volumen de residuos generados por superficie construida para este caso de estudio es de 0,186 m3/m2 de RCD con un costo total de 188.234,44 US$ correspondiente al 1,19% del presupuesto. Así mismo, el costo ponderado de la gestión del RCD se estimó en 75,47 US$/m3.
