Energy rehabilitation is today the main challenge for buildings to achieve the reduction of final energy consumption and CO2 emissions, being an objective to comply with the European Directives and with direct help for the rehabilitation of buildings of the European Next Generation funds. In the case of intervention in cultural heritage buildings, its implementation entails the need for specific studies that allow addressing energy rehabilitation actions, knowing their behavior, as they are exclusive cases. This work presents the evaluation of the thermal behavior of two rooms of the Royal Hospital of Granada (Spain) through the study of thermal patterns in situ and simulation by computational means through non-destructive techniques. The results highlight the importance and improvement offered in the behavior of the spaces by the existence of thick walls. They also offer information to address strategic planning at the monument scale in the future, defining the conditions of thermal comfort confirming the incidence that recognizes its material composition, construction systems as well as its state of conservation.
