Abstract
This paper reports on in-situ measurements performed in churches which allow to retain interesting solutions for electric heating. Churches are characterized by an important thermal inertia, a huge volume, an intermittency of use (some few hours a week) and by thermal, physical and chemical constraints for the good preservation of works of art and general esthetics of the building, in particular in the case of listed historical monuments. The installation of heating systems in such monuments requires authorizations from the historical monuments, the sacred art and the safety commissions. This paper summarizes the regulations and recommendations concerning: the thermal insulation, the heating regulation and programming, the ventilation, the fire safety, the electrical installation and the lighting. Then, the available electric powered heating systems are reviewed and described in details (principle, dimension, regulation, domain of use, installation): radiant short-infrared emitters, heating moquettes and heating pews. The choice criteria for a given heating system are analyzed according to the different constraints of the building (size, architecture, regulations, comfort, consumption costs) and finally the advantages of electric power heating are listed (no combustion products, low temperature stratification, aesthetics, silence and service life).
