Intensive use all year
Holding 20 °C and 50 % humidity to preserve the collection requires uninterrupted climate control. HVAC is the building's largest electricity consumer.
COASTAL MUSEUMS · 24/7 CLIMATE CONTROL
Climate-control your museum with the sea and protect the art.
Museums are thermal twins of a data center: a stable temperature and humidity setpoint 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The sea is the perfect sink for that continuous load.

The problem
A climate-controlled museum is a building that never switches off.
24/7/365
Continuous, predictable load
Cooling demand never stops. That maximises marine free-cooling run hours and shortens payback.
T/RH
Swings damage heritage
Temperature and humidity swings are the main agent of artwork deterioration. Air and cooling towers don't stabilise them as well as the sea.
The solution
The sea cools and, on top of that, conserves.
The anti-biofouling titanium heat exchanger uses seawater as a stable thermal sink, replacing most of the compressor's work with pumping and exchange.
SAVINGS
16-17 % less total use
50 kWh/m²·yr off the building's consumption. For a 5,000 m² museum, 250 MWh and 45,000 € per year.
CONSERVATION
The sea's thermal stability
Seawater is a very stable sink: fewer temperature and humidity swings, less artwork deterioration. You sell savings and better conservation.
REGULATION
Aligned with EED and EPBD
Museums as public buildings subject to energy-efficiency directives, with public-stock renovation targets and funding potential.
SENSIBLE LOAD
Almost fully covered
Seawater at 13-18 °C covers most of the sensible load on temperate coasts. Dehumidification is pre-cooled: a prudent 75 % addressable assumption.
