Maintaining the required relative humidity and temperature in areas where works of art are stored, exhibited, or
maintained is often a common challenge for specialists in various fields and interdisciplinary teams. Combining the
knowledge and experience of monument conservators and specialists in technical sciences in the field of
environmental conditions, psychrometric changes of air, thermodynamics, indoor air flows, operation of ventilation
and air conditioning systems, allows to solve many problems that may occur in such interesting and demanding
environments as museums, archives, art magazines and conservation studios.
In order to present such problems and ways of analysing them, the article refers to issues related to a ventilation and
air conditioning installation working for the needs of museum rooms, serving as a maintenance room and an art
store.
The formulated conclusions can be used by both museum employees and engineers dealing with internal installations
in museums and archives in their professional work, to analyse the correctness and correction of ventilation and airconditioning systems in order to achieve the required goal: meeting very restrictive requirements in the field of
internal conditions in rooms for various purposes.
