Abstract

Museums (and in general all Institutions that preserve cultural heritage assets) are required to keep under control the state of conservation of the collections, according to satisfying environment conditions, in order to transmit them to next generations. In general, it is required a commitment in museums to the formalization of procedures adopted to limit as much as possible the discretion or the absence of explicit rules. This means setting methodologies that allow an analysis of the state of the art, for the buildings as a whole and for the cultural assets inside. Among the measures pointed out, it has been highlighted the scheduled maintenance and continuous environmental monitoring activities for improving and evaluate the state of conservation of collections and the functionality of the technological systems. It's also important to link the above aspects to the field of environmental and energy sustainability in line with EU policies, so that the museum buildings can play an active role in the reduction of environmental impacts and in the spread of good practices towards their publics and citizens of the territory of reference in which they are located. Museum buildings on the basis of the needs for the collections' care, have the role to optimize the integration of passive and active technological solutions, possibly powered by renewable energy sources, in order to pursue a low environmental impact; indeed for the assets on display, the obtaining of desired values for indoor environmental quality depends on the balance between the passive energy performance of the building envelope and the one active of the systems. The Authors present the methodology of an energy audit for museums and the main results pointed out in the context of a project developed in collaboration with the Fondazione Musei Senesi, which aimed at raising the awareness of people involved in the museums' activities, in particular about the operation & maintenance of the museum building and systems and for the indoor climate control.
