The precision and stability of environmental control are paramount.Uses industrial-grade HVAC for 24/7 operation,ensuring temperature and RH fluctuate within a very narrow range to prevent damage from environmental shifts.Building envelope airtightness and insulation far exceed cold storage requirements.Fire suppression must use clean agent systems(e.g.,IG541,FM200)that won't damage collections.Security includes multiple access controls,IR detection,vibration sensors,and CCTV.

Walls are often multi-layer composite structures with high-density insulation and vapor barriers.Floors require damp-proofing.Lighting uses UV-filtered professional fixtures.Internal storage is specialized museum-grade compact shelving or picture racks.Design requires collaboration with curators,conservators,and security experts.
