Summary:Concepts of remedial treatments of historic buildings using ventilated floors, with a few exceptions, are with considerable popularity preferred by the representatives of monument protection. The fact that they require small interventions in the masonry is of great benefit for compliance with the methodology of cultural heritage protection, as is the fact that such interventions do not compromise the structural analysis of buildings. These concepts have gained great popularity also because they can be considered kind of a "return" to historical example. With these technologies we return to the methods and principles that the ancient Egyptians were already familiar with. The paradox is that these methods are used for many centuries, until today they are only proposed on the basis of empiricism. In this article two different underfloor ventilation systems are compared using CFD simulation.
