Design of an Energy-saving Environmental Control System for Relics Preservation in Archaeology Museum

An energyefficient displacementventilation (DV) system was proposed to independently control the local preservation environment of funerary pit from the large-space exhibition hall an archaeology museum. A series of experimental tests were conducted to investigate the performance and validate the feasibility of the DV system for preservation of historical terracotta figurines in their semi-exposed pits in the exhibition hall. The experimental results showed that the DV system provides a feasible and energy-saving strategy for controlling the preservation environment independently.
