Abstract
The test case is an historical single-family dwelling located in Northern Italy and built in 1800 with relevant architectural and artistic features. A range of generation system retrofit options are analyzed in order to evaluate the building's primary energy needs, renewable energy exploitation and actualized return costs in each case. The heating and cooling generation systems compared are heat pumps with different renewable sources (geothermal and external-air) and different control systems (on/off and variable-capacity). Results can be applied in comparable case studies to support refurbishment strategies design.
