Building the future of efficiency: Deceuninck profiles in the new thermal and digital era of BIM
Date: November 27, 2025
In November 2020, new regulations on thermal performance for buildings came into force in Chile. These regulations establish mandatory requirements for energy efficiency and thermal comfort in homes, educational establishments, and healthcare facilities.
The main objective is to reduce energy consumption in buildings, improve indoor comfort, and promote healthier and more sustainable environments, in line with the country's commitments to climate change and energy efficiency.
What does the new thermal standard entail?
The update introduces more stringent standards for insulation and thermal transmittance in walls, roofs, floors, and especially windows and enclosures.
Windows, being one of the main points of energy loss, play a key role in compliance with regulations. Therefore, choosing efficient and certified profile systems is essential.
Compliance with regulations at Deceuninck Chile: solutions that meet standards and a commitment to efficiency
Deceuninck PVC profiles offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, reducing energy consumption and ensuring greater interior comfort.
In addition, its multi-chamber structure allows for the integration of tempered or laminated glass for greater safety, double-glazed panels, as required by the new regulations. The hinged or projecting openings facilitate controlled and efficient ventilation.
PVC solutions thus contribute to creating safer, more sustainable, and more comfortable spaces, directly impacting people's quality of life. Because it's not just about windows: it's about caring for the health, learning, and well-being of an entire community.
Digital innovation: BIM as the new standard
Since July 2025, the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been mandatory in all public works in Chile. Deceuninck makes its profiles and systems available to architects, engineers, and builders in BIM format, facilitating integration into digital projects.
This allows for the optimization of energy design, reduction of time and resources, and ensures regulatory compliance from the planning stage.
At Deceuninck, we continue to drive this transition forward with innovation, technology, and environmental commitment. Our products are designed to actively contribute to energy efficiency, people's well-being, and a more sustainable future for all.
