The projectThe UMBRA ARTIS project (latin for “preservation of artworks”) builds upon the awareness of the lack of reliable scientific data about the indoor environmental quality of ancient and subterranean constructions used for exhibition purposes, which are very diffused in the city of Perugia e.g. the Rocca Paolina and Palazzo Penna. Indeed, too often historic buildings used as exhibition areas are no provided with appropriate indoor environmental control systems given the lack of sufficient resources. However, improper indoor microclimate conditions could result in the irreversible damage of both the artworks and the ancient building structure. The purpose of the present project is to perform an in-field continuous monitoring of the indoor thermal-hygrometric conditions and air quality in one or more case study buildings which are detected to be representative of the heritage construction situated in Perugia for both the technical characteristics and the level of criticality of the indoor microclimate conditions. The main objectives consist therefore in (i) the continuous monitoring of one or more spaces of the selected case study heritage buildings, (ii) the thermal-energy modeling of the buildings by means of dynamic simulation tools, and (iii) in the report of the actual conditions of the buildings with the evaluation of the most effective and sustainable energy retrofit to preserve both the ancient building structure and the artworks conserved inside it.
