I agree. A HVAC in a historic house setting compared to a HVAC in a  
modern museum is like learning to fly a helicopter compared to driving  
a car. And no two settings are alike. Work with a consultant to find  
out what is done best to improve your climate issues - a HVAC might or  
might not be the best answer to your problem.

> Hello all!
>
> We are in the process of implementing a new HVAC system for a  
> Georgian-style (1780s) historic house museum. The museum is located  
> in the Mid-Atlantic, which experiences fluctuating temperatures and  
> humidity levels depending on the season. Has anyone recently gone  
> through this process and have any suggestions or recommendations of  
> what to look for and/or what not to do when putting in an HVAC into  
> a historic house? Thanks in advance!
