Il Museo del Paesaggio nel palazzo Viani Dugnani a Pallanza. Controllo microclimatico per la conservazione delle collezioni e dell'edificio

Palazzo Viani Dugnani in Pallanza is a patrician XVIIIth century building. Owned by the Municipality since the end of the XIX Century, it has been housing the Museum of Landscape for one hundred years. The Museum should be opened during the winter but the matter was to supply sufficient comfort for human well-being, as well as preserve collections and artworks, avoiding damages caused by changes in indoor climate. A wall-tempering system – that is not properly an heating system – was chosen for the following reasons: it can stop rising dump, moisture condensation, and damaging effects caused by thermal stress due to temperature difference between indoor environment and wall surface. Furthermore, monitoring the indoor climate is the best way to control and run the system, in order to set up the building maintenance.
