Integración de la respuesta sanitaria en la evaluación energético-ambiental de edificios para reducir el riesgo de exposición al calor urbano: estudio de caso de Chile

The document highlights the need to align building regulations, energy efficiency, and health responses to mitigate urban heat risks in Chile, specifically in Quilpué. It identifies a correlation between high temperatures and increased hospital admissions, noting that energy poverty exacerbates climate vulnerability. The brief advocates for a transdisciplinary approach combining green infrastructure, rigorous thermal standards, and early warning systems to protect public health.

• In the commune of Quilpué, certain urban areas exhibit higher exposure to heat, which is linked to a potential health risk and a statistical correlation between elevated temperatures and an increase in hospital admissions.
• Residents of Quilpué perceive a decline in thermal conditions when compared to more traditional types of construction.
• While Chile has made progress in energy efficiency regulations since 2006, including the Energy Efficiency Law and updates from 2021, these norms still lack the explicit integration of health criteria.
• Energy poverty is identified as a critical determinant that increases vulnerability to heatwaves and climate risks.
