Museums and libraries

Museums, libraries and display cabinets require special environments to preserve works of art. In addition to maintaining the right temperature and humidity, art can also be affected by indoor contaminants such as VOCs or dust.

In addition to monitoring the environment and potential air pollutants, BSRIA uses tracer gas testing to effectively determine the ventilation rates (air change rate) of museum display cabinets.

Our comprehensive range of testing includes:

  • Anemometry measurements (speed and temperature)
  • Temperature profiling
  • Smoke tests
  • Indoor air quality
  • Contaminant measurement
  • Air change rate calculation
  • Light and acoustic measurements
  • Thermal comfort
  • Independent review the ventilation systems

BSRIA’s services are ideal for specialist ventilation designers and building operators who want to investigate occupant complaints of draught, temperature, humidity or odours.
