“…Sometimes, however, the strong built heritage of a country, like Italy, attracts scientists from abroad [21,22,27,28,33,37,42,44,46,80,88,89,[92][93][94]. As illustrated in Fig.…”

“…Between 2013 and the first half of 2014, research on energy efficiency in historic buildings diversified in terms of content and the types of buildings examined. For example, different methodologies were applied to study urban [39][40][41][42][43], rural [37,[44][45][46], academic [47][48][49] and religious buildings [50][51][52][53][54], both individually and in urban areas [39][40][41][42][43]. Most of these studies focused on reusing heritage buildings and proposed suitable technical solutions for enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining building heritage values.…”

“…While there has been significant research done by international collaborators (represented by the "International" column in Fig. 2), those projects have often been led by British [46,[87][88][89] and Italian [18,22,23,42,44,60,90] researchers. This distribution may be attributable to several factors, including a country's built heritage, the sheer availability of buildings, and scientific developments.…”

a b s t r a c tIn recent years, energy efficiency and thermal comfort in historic buildings have become high-interest topics among scholars. Research has demonstrated that retrofitting buildings to current energy efficiency and thermal comfort standards is essential for improving sustainability and energy performance and for maintaining built heritage of historic structures. This study is an extensive overview of the literature surrounding this topic. This paper summarizes the different methods and techniques that have been used around the world to achieve performance refurbishments. Articles are organized based on the different building types used as case studies (residential, religious, academic and palace, museums, libraries and theaters, urban areas, and others). The results reveal that residential, religious and museum building types, especially from the last two centuries, have been most often used as case studies. Moreover, Europe, particularly Italy, is leading the research. The aim of this note is to demonstrate the feasibility of maintaining built heritage values of historic buildings while achieving significant improvements in their energy efficiency and thermal comfort.

“…The employment and optimization of passive low-cost devices can be highly effective to provide relative humidity control in less than ideal environments, particularly in the case of mixed collections with different conservation needs. Since their response to temperature fluctuations is usually poor [6,8], panels of materials containing PCMs (Phase Change Materials) have been proposed to be placed inside showcases to keep the internal temperature stable [9].…”

Passive microclimate frames are exhibition enclosures able to modify their internal climate in order to comply with paintings’ conservation needs. Due to a growing concern about the effects of climate change, future policies in conservation must move towards affordable and sustainable preservation strategies. This study investigated the hygrothermal conditions monitored within a microclimate frame hosting a portrait on cardboard with the aim of discussing its use in view of the climate expected indoors in the period 2041–2070. Its effectiveness in terms of the ASHRAE classification and of the Lifetime Multiplier for chemical deterioration of paper was assessed comparing temperature and relative humidity values simultaneously measured inside the microclimate frame and in its surrounding environment, first in the Pio V Museum and later in a residential building, both located in the area of Valencia (Spain). Moreover, heat and moisture transfer functions were used to derive projections over the future indoor hygrothermal conditions in response to the ENSEMBLES-A1B outdoor scenario. The adoption of microclimate frames proved to be an effective preventive conservation action in current and future conditions but it may not be sufficient to fully avoid the chemical degradation risk without an additional control over temperature.
