Artifact and document preservation demands stable, precise humidity control; year-round, without excursions.
Talk to an engineerArchives, museums, and libraries house irreplaceable collections that are acutely sensitive to humidity. Paper, textiles, photographs, paintings, and organic materials all degrade when humidity is too high, too low, or too variable.
ASHRAE and conservation standards set specific humidity ranges (typically 30-50% RH with minimal fluctuation) that must be maintained 24/7/365.
Standard HVAC systems often can't deliver the stability these collections require; especially in older buildings, during seasonal transitions, or in humid climates.

Our systems are designed for continuous operation with minimal maintenance; protecting collections year-round without the humidity excursions that standard HVAC systems allow.
We work with preservation specialists and facility engineers to design humidity control that meets conservation requirements while working within the constraints of the building.
Maintaining ASHRAE-recommended humidity ranges for long-term collection protection.
Stable humidity in archive vaults, collection storage, and display environments.

Museum humidity control isn't about hitting a setpoint. It's about holding it without cycling. The difference between a stable 50% and a 50% average with hourly spikes is the difference between preservation and slow deterioration.... Read more
