3. 2. The influence of passive measures on the highly demanding room climate requirements of a museum building in terms of sustainability

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Jasmin Jost; [2021]
   Keywords : museum; museum climate; conservation requirements; climate risk assessment; indoor environment; thermal comfort; thermal mass; moisture buffering; hygroscopic materials; life cycle assessment LCA ; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the exhibition space of a museum, a compromise between the requirements for the preservation of cultural goods and thermal comfort criteria for visitors has to be applied. Such a high level of control without allowing fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity poses a big challenge to the air conditioning systems to maintain these very specific hygrothermal conditions.
