Air conditioning for works of art.

Author(s) : FILIPPI M.

Type of article: Periodical article, Review

Summary

Works of art need a safe environment, where temperature, humidity and pollution are strictly controlled. Therefore curators and air conditioning engineers must co-operate closely in monitoring, designing and realising macro- and micro-environments suitable for conservation. As far as air conditioning systems are concerned, the design must meet different requirements, from the comfort of visitors and employees to the "comfort" of the works of art; from display to storage needs; the designer must therefore work closely with the curator in reaching a compromise.
