To protect the historical relic, the exhibition hall and the relic storage in the museum have strict requirement for temperature and humidity. Using the equally strict standard in all the region of the museum will bring about additional investment and energy cost. Considers that appropriate control of temperature and humidity should be adopted according to the different requirement of the each part of the museum. Presents the HVAC design of the museum. To meet the different requirement for temperature and humidity in the exhibition hall and the relic storage, the combination of water cooling chillers and air cooling chillers are adopted, and all-air air conditioning units with double fans are used for the exhibition hall, while centrally treated fresh air plus zoned all-air air conditioning units is used for the relic storage. Adjustment is possible for future requirement change. The design of air conditioning system can ensure the heat source supplied all the year round.
