  • Residential archetypes in urban energy simulation models in Chile: Determining factors of residential energy consumption Francisca Aguilera Felipe Ossio Ingeniería bottom archetypes up modelling Energy efficiency urban energy simulation The national and international overview has shown that residential energy consumption is increasing. As a result, efforts have focused on reducing the initial demand for housing and its associated consumption. One of the most used tools for this purpose i s bot tom - up energy modelling, s pecifically on the archetypes branch. This method proposes that energy demand of a dwelling can estimated from the interaction of several parameter s and factors. However, the method’s main limitation, is the complexity of defining the variables and factors to be used. This article presents a review of special ized literature, concerned with, determining and characterizing residential archetypes. From this literature, It was possible to determine the most influential factors in energy consumption. The results showed 1 9 factors that were categorized into five groups; g enera l, geometric, thermal, operational, and systems and equipment characteristics. The applicability of these factors to Chile was verified. This article, is in tended a guide to generating representative archetypes and characterizing dwellings in an efficiente manner. 2017 artículo científico 0717-7925 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=127654962017 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1276 Revista de la Construcción application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Revista de la Construcción (Chile) Num.3 Vol.16
