This work illustrates the results achieved by ongoing collaboration between the Uffizi Gallery and the University of Florence. This collaboration has focused on the New Uffizi Project and sought to evaluate the energy consumption of the HVAC systems of the Vasari Corridor by applying the typical tools and methods for the Building Energy Model (BEM) of existing buildings. In order to perform a dynamic simulation of the energy behavior and thermal comfort of the Corridor, the Building Energy Model was validated by comparing the hourly measured and simulated indoor temperature values and through the varying of natural ventilation and solar shading. Due to its building characteristics the control of the indoor thermo-hygrometric parameters is a critical issue. These aspects expose the Corridor to climatic variations which necessitate major energy consumption. In estimating energy consumption, three different scenarios of the use of the Corridor itself were referenced: one of which was its return to the original Medici use as a connection between Palazzo Pitti and Palazzo Vecchio through the Uffizi Galleries; the other two were the possible uses for temporary exhibitions of artwork which met the acceptable parameters of indoor air quality (thermal comfort and control of risk of SARS-CoV 2).

这项工作说明了乌菲兹美术馆和佛罗伦萨大学之间持续合作所取得的成果。此次合作的重点是新乌菲齐项目，旨在通过应用现有建筑建筑能源模型 (BEM) 的典型工具和方法来评估瓦萨里走廊 HVAC 系统的能源消耗。为了对走廊的能源行为和热舒适性进行动态模拟，通过比较每小时测量和模拟的室内温度值以及自然通风和遮阳的变化，对建筑能源模型进行了验证。由于其建筑特性，室内温湿度参数的控制是一个关键问题。这些方面使走廊面临气候变化，需要大量能源消耗。在估算能源消耗时，参考了走廊本身使用的三种不同场景：其中之一是它返回到最初的美第奇用途，作为通过乌菲兹美术馆连接皮蒂宫和旧宫的连接；另外两个是艺术作品临时展览的可能用途，这些艺术作品符合可接受的室内空气质量参数（热舒适度和控制 SARS-CoV 2 的风险）。
