Abstract
Sustainable passive and solar housing, including passive cooling and passive solar heating here, is a promising strategy to improve thermal comfort in the Mediterranean climate of Central Chile with its hot and dry summers and cool, but sunny winters. Chile, together with Brazil and others, forms part of Latin Americas emerging countries and economies with a rapidly growing economy. The building sector represents an important part of that growth both as a social necessity and through its energy consume and environmental impact, especially on climate change. Therefore it is important to develop concepts and tools for the design of passive houses considering the ecological, social and economic aspects of sustainability.
