New units keep culture cool in Canadian heritage center
The museum needed to replace its aging HVAC equipment, which was operated with a timer and had become undependable over the years. Museum curator, Anne Unyi, recalled "I'd have to physically start the unit in the mornings sometimes, and the temperature would be anywhere from 14° to16°C during winter." In the summer, the temperature and humidity fluctuations were even worse, according to Unyi.
The two existing HVAC units were replaced with two new Skymark systems that control the humidity requirements of 55% rh and maintain a temperature of 22° to 24°C.
