Low-energy museum storage – the Danish experience

Aktivitet: Tale eller præsentation › Foredrag og mundtlige bidrag

Beskrivelse

Over the last 25 years Denmark’s low-energy museum storage concept has demonstrated that high quality storage environments can be achieved with minimal energy input. Taking advantage of the Scandinavian temperate climate, the building design itself ensures a conservationally correct indoor climate. However, energy use is only part of a building’s carbon footprint, as demonstrated in a recent survey of storage facilities across Denmark. Over a storage building’s life cycle, embodied carbon in buildings materials, primarily concrete, far outweighs operational emissions by up to ten times, shifting the main sustainability challenge from energy to materials and construction design. The implications of this for future low-energy storage will be discussed in the presentation.
