The use of passive design of heritage buildings as an alternative indoor climate control for museum

Abstract

Heritage buildings are known to be climate responsive, and its building materials were properly \nselected to attenuate exterior conditions. Many of these buildings were converted into museums, \nwhich need to have a stable indoor climate in order to safeguard valuable collections they housed. The \ncharacteristics of heritage buildings which were built to response with the climatic conditions may help \nto contribute a better indoor environment for the collections. By studying several case studies, this \nresearch showed that the buildings, occupied by those museums were designed to deal with climate \npassively and have architectural features that able to regulate the temperature and relative humidity, \nwhich in turn can be utilized by the museums. This paper seeks answers and examples of how \nutilizing passive design can better control the climate, without relying heavily on the HVAC mechanical \nsystems which in turn highlight energy efficiency and sustainability in museum design.
