Located in the centre of Milan, the 1960s building consists of 53 flats covering a total of 6500 m2. The building had undergone an initial complete renovation in 2000, which also involved the building envelope. Heating was provided by two traditional boilers for heating and domestic hot water and two chillers for summer cooling. The distribution of heat and cold was done with radiators and fan coils, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Requirement: In 2023, it was decided to improve the building’s energy performance by intervening on the air conditioning system, but with the need to maintain the present distribution system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
