Summary
A comparative analysis of HVAC solutions for the armoury hall at Palazzo Ducale, Mantua, reveals that integrating renewable energy technologies can significantly reduce energy consumption while maintaining user comfort and system reversibility. The study evaluated different configurations based on criteria such as ease of maintenance, response speed, noise levels, size, and adjustability. By analyzing local climatic parameters and simulating building energy demand, researchers identified optimal HVAC system requirements for historical buildings repurposed for public use, ensuring low environmental impact without compromising performance or user experience.
