The Royal Castle in Warsaw, rebuilt in its historic form, has been equipped with the most modern technical facilities. All facilities and fittings in historic interiors have been installed undiscernibly and concealed to the utmost degree so not to impair a historic decor of the interiors. Engineering control rooms have been situated at two levels of the Castle: — the attic houses air-conditioning equipment with a central control and dispatch system for "Light and Sound", social facilities for workers including a canteen; — the basement houses heating and cooling machinery, ventilating rooms, telephone exchange; — part of the Wielki (i.e. Great) Courtyard has been provided with cellars in order to secure a horizontal distribution of installations. The Castle has been equipped with a double system of power, heating and water supply to ensure continuous operation. 102 historic rooms have been provided with full air-conditioning and maintain constant parameters of air (humidity — 60% and temperature - 20%); at the same time this system functions as air heating. The electro-acoustic switchboard with cabling at 4 levels has been installed, which makes possible a two-way operation with almost every room. In order to enrich the artistic effect of the Castle it has been planned to hold "Light and Sound" spectacles as well as historic shows in the Castle’s courtyard. The cinema and lecture room, housing seats for 100, offers possibilities for the demonstration of films recorded on 35 mm and 16 mm wide tape, slide projection, recording of events as well as stereophonic reproduction of music. The Castle has also been equipped with antiburglary and fire protection systems. Altogether nearly thirty different installations have been put in there. The majority of the systems work faultlessly, which allows for an efficient operation of the Royal Castle. Still, some of the systems have not as yet been completed and they include: — industrial TV system — interpreters’ system — wireless information for visitors — heating of gutters — in-coming electronic system for the structure’s protection.
