Type of article: Article

Summary

The article describes the new air-conditioning system of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican. The peculiar requirements for the preservation of the frescoes are fulfilled by separating the indoor space into two volumes, thanks to a suitable design of the air diffusers. The upper volume, which is close to the Michelangelo masterpieces, is supplied with fresh filtered air so as to prevent the diffusion of contaminants from the metabolic activity of the visitors and to maintain constant temperatures throughout the year.
