Silent and Sustainable Comfort for Italy’s Leading Astronomy Center

Project Overview

At the Parco Astronomico Gal Hassin, one of Italy’s most renowned centers for public science education and astronomy research, climate control plays a critical role in supporting both learning and operational performance. The facility required a quiet, low-impact HVAC solution that could maintain thermal comfort year-round—without disrupting the calm environment essential for exhibitions and night-time observation.

To meet these needs, Redge installed an ECOMFORT MC R32 indoor heat pump—a compact, reversible unit designed for discreet integration, high energy efficiency, and near-silent operation.

Challenges

Educational and cultural spaces like Gal Hassin place heightened demands on acoustic comfort and installation discretion. The project required:

  • A system with low noise and vibration levels, compatible with observation and presentation spaces

  • Indoor-only installation, with no visual or structural impact on the facility’s exterior

  • A solution aligned with sustainability goals, featuring low-GWP refrigerant and high seasonal performance

  • Seamless integration into the existing hydronic distribution network

Redge Solution

Redge delivered a compact ECOMFORT MC R32 heat pump, installed inside the site’s technical room to ensure full compliance with the center’s acoustic and aesthetic requirements.

Key system features included:

  • R32 refrigerant with low Global Warming Potential and no PFAS

  • Scroll compressors and EC fans for low-noise, high-efficiency operation

  • Hydraulic module with dual high-prevalence pumps for optimal system flow

  • Compatibility with the eCLIMATIC platform for touchscreen-based control, remote monitoring, and diagnostic support

This all-in-one, plug-and-play indoor solution allowed for quiet, energy-efficient heating and cooling with minimal on-site disruption. The result: year-round thermal control without interfering with the center’s architectural integrity or scientific purpose.
