Investigates the possibility of limiting ventilation in archival storage areas when the outside conditions would have a detrimental effect on the humidity. Conducted measurement-based simulations on the Vaud state archives in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a continental mild climate. Recommends good insulation and high thermal mass. The simulations showed that the indoor climate could be greatly improved using the proposed method, or significant energy savings obtained if it is used in addition to an air conditioning system, to ensure a very stable indoor climate, suitable for archival storage areas.
