[Genealib] HVAC Systems

[Laura Carter]

Yes, we have one.  I want two though.  We are going to be doing an 
addition and will expand some and probably move to another area of the 
library.  Would like to see 2 systems in Heritage Room.   One for 
reading room and work areas that we can keep low humidity and at a 
comfortable temp for sitting still and working.; another for the storage 
area I hope to have for the fragile materials and papers that we will 
keep much cooler.  Right now we freeze our users and our staff most of 
the year. .   One of our users made us several polartec throws that 
people can wear.   In the winter it feels fine at the same temp, but the 
humidity is lots lower.

I do not know what brand it is.  I'm not sure that I can recommend any 
HVAC system in this building since there are constant problems.  Much 
better now though than in the first 3 years when something was ALWAYS 
going wrong.
