I was tweeting up a storm during this session (#AICSF).\u00a0 Why the fervor? There is nothing like hearing the conversion of smart professionals towards the gospel of collaboration, preservation management and the preservation environment.\u00a0 A two-year intensive review of the air handling systems at the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library (Delaware) generated insights into the management of the preservation environment that provided refreshing new data on how to approach mechanical renovation projects.\u00a0 During the panel, each stakeholder told a part of a story that provided many \u201cAh Ha” moments. Here\u2019s a sample of the tweets:
\nOn the issue of getting all the stakeholders in the room:
\nI keep saying this: collaboration between facilities and conservation colleagues is a key for establishing set points. <\/em>
\nCollections management and facilities management must be in handshake [pic of hands shaking].<\/em>
\nOn the implementation of nightly shut downs and seasonable shifts to manage the preservation environment and reduce the use of water and energy:
\nIt\u2019s not so simple to do shut downs and seasonably adjust set points. <\/em>
\nAchilles heel of doing shut downs may be antiquated systems including [antiquated] monitoring.\u00a0 Really, you cannot just shut off the furnace!<\/em>
\nOn the struggle to adequately understand the way that air handling systems may have evolved over time due to changes in personnel, changes in technology, and changes in the built environment:
\nSounds like facilities engineers could take a page out of @conservators documentation strategies and requirements.\u00a0 #asbuiltsnotdrawn <\/em>
\n[A fireplace that had served as an air return decades ago was blocked during renovations wreaking havoc on the HVAC control]: Secret air return: non-working fireplace\u2026 blocked.<\/em>
\n[Retired engineer returns to review the system and finds out that all of the built-in compensation for Gerry-rigged HVAC has been resolved]: \u201cWe always run two boilers!\u201d \u201cLet me tell you what: now we\u2019re only running one.\u201d<\/em>
\nOn the monitoring tools that are essential for understanding how your systems are running:
\neClimate Notebook from IPI is such a great tool. Proud to plug it!<\/em>
\nWinterthur reports a decrease in its energy costs, which include the reduction in the use of fresh water, and intends to repurpose energy costs into programming.\u00a0 Now that\u2019s sustainable!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
