Evaluation of different approaches of microclimate control in cultural heritage buildings

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to evaluate different approaches to microclimate control in historic buildings in relation to the requirements for indoor climate and energy consumption. The conventional methods are examined: passive microclimate control, humidity control and humidistatic heating; and compared with two novel control strategies: equal-sorption humidity control and natural climate fluctuations control. Starting from a general overview of the methods based on the state of the art and experience from selected case studies, the methods are evaluated using building simulation software.
