Abstract
In a survey of the present national status of Italian elementary and high schools with regard to air quality and type of installed heating and ventilation equipment, it was found that most school buildings are using conventional hot water radiator - fuel oil or gas fired boiler heating systems, while ventilation and air conditioning systems are virtually non- existent. Air recharge is accomplished by simply opening the windows whenever the internal room air becomes too stuffy. With the aim of assessing energy and equipment costs of a nation-wide effort to conform to international standards on building air quality and thermal comfort, this paper first reviews and compares current and proposed USA, European and Italian normatives. The paper then estimates the implications, in terms of overall costs, energy consumption and energy savings, of the installation of highly efficient ventilation systems equipped with suitable heat recovery equipment to meet future up-dated Italian standards regarding energy conservation, as well as, building air quality.
