North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) was experiencing wide daily fluctuations in humidity of +/- 15% in the winter and up to +/- 30% in the summer. In order to host high-profile traveling exhibitions, NCMA needed to tightly control the humidity in the galleries.
After careful review of the facilities, it was determined that ASHRAE Class AA environmental conditions could be achieved through an HVAC system overhaul. An added benefit of the upgrade would be energy savings totaling 57% or more.
A single MeeFog™ humidification system was installed replacing 92 distributed steam humidifiers. Using the system also eliminated the need for boiler system steam for humidification and helped reduce the utility and operating budgets.
