I'm not an MD nor EMT, and I don't play one on TV. However, all of my first aid training has instructed to "maintain" body heat. I believe the goal is to keep body temperature "normal." Lots of loft and added heat if the victim is cold, shade and cooling if hot.
I'd be interested to learn of exceptions to that "rule."
