Abstract

The approach to HVAC design in the recovery and the conversion of an historic building requires particular care and accuracy, due to the complexity of the features and the required uses, without forcing the nature of architectural artefact but, at the same time, combining the architectural language with the modern technologies, through the implementation of an integrated design. This work present the HVAC design of Palazzo Fulcis, funded by the Fondazione Cariverona, a fine and important historic building in Belluno turned into a museum, to entrust the management to the City institutions, suitable to allow the exhibition of the Museum materials and to create new spaces for temporary exhibitions. If the first objective obligates to choose technical solutions with low-impact to the building, the second target requires the need to insert a modern and widespread HVAC plant able to guarantee: certainty of operation, precision of active microclimate control system, flexibility to adapt to the different microclimate conditions that are required by the providers of work of art, that couldn’t been installed in Climabox. Due to a complete recovery of the building, the choice is to operate as a surgeon for the integration of an invasive plant, the HVAC system, in a structure that originally had an outdated and improper air conditioning system, to ensure the best thermo-hygrometric comfort and, at the same time, to control the air chemistry and the electromagnetic radiation that are the main causes of degradation in the conservation of works of art. The introduction and the choices of various special and innovative plants is, therefore, direct to the use of spaces in modern forms and integrated with issues of operational and safety, global comfort (lighting, noise, temperature) and air quality. The HVAC systems are integrated in the architecture to create specific operating conditions by avoiding any invasivity that is unsuitable in the recovery of an artistic and historical building. Facing the complexity of these issues the work shows the technical choices designed to match each plant to the real needs and to the operating mode of the building, offering environmentally friendly solutions with the necessary guarantees of: indoor comfort (temperature, humidity, air quality); compliance with the current legislation and reliability and security of systems, components and equipment. The HVAC systems are zoned in order to safeguard: the continuity of operation in case of mechanical failure and/or maintenance; the control system optimization and the simplicity and economy of the centralized management and maintenance of the installations. This is done through a hierarchical BMS with remote control. The system has a very simple controlled procedure, now indispensable in engineering management.
