HVAC Solutions for Museums, Swimming Pools and Gyms

Perfect conditions for sports, leisure, and art begin with HVAC.

In public buildings—museums, exhibition centers, and government facilities—the microclimate is a critical infrastructure element. HVAC systems are responsible not only for the comfort of visitors and employees but also for the safety of exhibits, documents, and equipment. Even small fluctuations in temperature or humidity can damage artifacts, paintings, archives, and technologically sensitive materials.

High-quality ventilation, heating, and air conditioning systems ensure stable air conditions despite high traffic volumes, complex architectural forms, and stringent security requirements. Precise HVAC control allows for microclimate control across different zones, reducing energy consumption, and maintaining ideal conditions 24/7.

We design solutions that meet the most stringent standards—from museum storage to government facilities. Properly selected equipment and thoughtful engineering ensure reliability, precision, and durability.

HVAC Engineering is the best partner for comprehensive HVAC solutions in public buildings. The right microclimate ensures the safety of valuables, the prestige of the property, and the comfort of every visitor.

Museums / Libraries

An HVAC solution for libraries and museums is not merely a comfort feature but a strategically vital component of the engineering infrastructure on which the preservation of exhibits, rare editions, and visitor experience depends.
In such environments, opening windows or allowing drafts is strictly prohibited, as even slight fluctuations in temperature or humidity can damage books, paintings, and historical artifacts. Therefore, the indoor climate must be precisely controlled and stable 24/7.
The optimal solution is a centralized supply and exhaust system with multi-stage filtration, heat recovery, and automatic air-parameter control. To maintain perfect humidity balance, integrated humidification systems are installed within the ventilation units — preventing the drying of paper, canvas, and wood, and allowing climate control with an accuracy of up to 0.5 %.
As climate systems, high-precision chiller–fan coil or premium-class VRF systems are used, ensuring accurate temperature regulation without drafts or fluctuations.
Minimum HVAC equipment set for museums and libraries:

  • HVAC project considering exhibition and archive zones
  • Centralized supply and exhaust ventilation system with heat recovery and filtration
  • Air humidification system
  • High-precision chiller–fan coil or VRF system
  • Automation and 24/7 microclimate monitoring

HVAC ENGINEERING – we know how to create the right and reliable climate for your museum or library.

Sports Complexes / Gym

The HVAC solution for gyms forms the foundation of comfort, training efficiency, and the premium status of the facility. In fitness centers, the indoor climate directly affects clients’ well-being, safety, and overall experience. During physical activity, the human body requires several times more air than in offices or homes — making professional system design essential.

Each zone — yoga, pilates, cardio, fitness, or free weights — must have a balanced ventilation system. During workouts, a person needs up to three times more fresh air, so the ventilation must be powerful, quiet, and evenly distributed, without drafts.

VRF or chiller-fan coil systems are used to maintain a comfortable temperature, providing precise cooling and heating control for stable year-round conditions.

If the facility includes a swimming pool, dehumidification and specialized supply-exhaust systems for wet zones are mandatory to prevent condensation and corrosion.

For energy efficiency, heat pumps are recommended for water heating in showers and locker rooms, reducing operating costs by up to three times.

Sports complexes are technically sophisticated buildings where only professionals should design and build HVAC systems — because mistakes are too costly.

Minimum HVAC equipment set for a sports center:

  • HVAC design considering all functional zones
  • Supply and exhaust system with zonal control
  • VRF or chiller-fan coil system
  • Pool dehumidification and ventilation system (if applicable)
  • Heat pump for water heating (reduces costs threefold)
  • Automation and microclimate control

Frequently asked questions

Why are ventilation and air conditioning requirements so strict in museums?

Because fluctuations in temperature and humidity can damage exhibits. The HVAC system must maintain a stable microclimate to preserve artifacts and ensure visitor comfort.

Do museums need humidification and dehumidification systems?

Yes, absolutely. They maintain the optimal humidity level, preventing the drying, cracking, or deformation of exhibits.

What type of ventilation system should be installed in swimming pools?

Pools require a specialized dehumidification and ventilation system that removes excess moisture and prevents condensation and corrosion. Air must be continuously renewed and evenly distributed, especially above the water surface. The optimal solution is a supply and exhaust unit with an integrated dehumidifier and automatic humidity and temperature control.
