“…In this model, all identified airflow paths were considered, i.e., infiltration through the external windows, doors cracks, and inter-zone airflows. More details were presented in Ferdyn-Grygierek, et al [47]. Additional ventilation airflows, in the analysed cases, were modelled in EnergyPlus.…”

In museums, poor microclimate conditions, especially large changes in relative humidity and temperature, can lead to serious deterioration of the exhibits. Properly designed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for precise control of the air parameters are required. However, due to the financial restrictions of museums, complex air-conditioning systems are often not feasible. In this study, we tested and propose novel methods to reduce the short- and long-term fluctuations in the relative humidity in exhibition rooms of a Polish museum. The methods only include indoor temperature and ventilation airflow control strategies, without the use of (de)humidification equipment. The analysis is based on simulations using EnergyPlus software. A multi-zone thermal model of the museum building was validated and calibrated with measured data. A full calendar year was simulated for five control cases (including the current method used) and two internal heat gain schedules. The energy demand for heating and cooling for each case was calculated. The combination of temperature control and adequate ventilation using ambient airflow allows for dramatic improvement in the microclimate conditions. The proportion of the year when the instantaneous indoor relative humidity is ±5% from set point decreased from 85% to 20%. A significant effect was obtained over the summer months.

“…Besides a growing attention towards the conservation aspect of exhibited items in museum spaces, a greater focus has also been addressed to the energy consumption of such buildings [42][43][44], particularly in Cultural Heritage spaces [45]. As reported by Celenza et al, thermal heating energy is a determinant factor in such buildings, its proper management plays a key role in the global energy efficiency and enhances potential energy savings [46].…”

This paper presents the analysis of the hygrothermal conditions of a museum space hosted in an 18th century building, in Coimbra (Portugal). This historical building, which houses the Science Museum of the University of Coimbra, is located in the historic centre of the University of Coimbra, officially declared a World Heritage Site in 2013 by UNESCO. The methodology proposed in EN 15757:2010 was applied to two monitoring campaigns carried out at a distance of 4 years, in two of the rooms of the permanent exhibition. The results of the monitoring periods are presented and discussed. The findings unveil the necessity for long-term monitoring of the indoor environmental conditions of museum spaces, towards the support of grounded based-evidence guidelines for the conservation of objects and quality of environment for exhibits conservation. Resumo Neste artigo são analisadas as condições higrotérmicas de um espaço museológico situado num edifício do século XVIII, em Coimbra (Portugal). Este edifício histórico, que acolhe o Museu da Ciência da Universidade, localiza-se no centro histórico da Universidade de Coimbra, declarado oficialmente como Património Mundial em 2013 pela UNESCO. A metodologia proposta na norma europeia EN 15757:2010 foi aplicada em duas campanhas de monitoração realizadas a uma distância de 4 anos, em dois dos espaços da exposição permanente do MCUC. São apresentados e discutidos os resultados dos períodos de monitorização. As conclusões mostram a importância da monitorização das condições ambientais internas dos espaços museológicos a longo prazo, no sentido da elaboração de diretrizes de conservação de objetos e da qualidade do ambiente interior para a conservação de exposições, suportadas e baseadas em evidências.

“…Mechanizmy te prowadzą do przyspieszenia procesów starzeniowych obiektów zabytkowych. Na ich podstawie można sklasyfikować czynniki zagrażające trwałości zabytków [10]:  warunki temperaturowo-wilgotnościowe wnętrza,  jakość powietrza, tj. zawartość pyłów, związków chemicznych i czynników biologicznych,  oświetlenie naturalne (dzienne) i sztuczne.…”
