Conservation compatible solutions for HVAC and RES integration in Historic Buildings

This report presents a compilation of active retrofit systems suitable for historic buildings subjected to conservation requirements. Its primary objective is to gather the most commonly used HVAC integration solutions in such contexts. Each solution is evaluated according to a set of parameters defined during the task, including general information, technical and performance specifications, as well as installation and design aspects. This structured approach offers a comprehensive overview of available HVAC systems and supports the comparison and selection of the most suitable options across multiple criteria. The solutions are summarised in tables within the report, and an Excel version is also provided to enable filtering and sorting. In total, the report includes 47 active retrofit solutions.
Additionally, the collected retrofit solutions were evaluated for each building typology outlined in Deliverable 1.2. This evaluation was conducted during a collaborative workshop with project partners from FuturHist. The selection of suitable solutions was guided by various criteria, including construction characteristics, local regulations, and regional retrofit strategies. The result is a list of retrofit solutions deemed most appropriate for the specific needs and constraints of each building typology.
