We are currently in the process of spec-ing for refurbishment of some of our
galleries and stores.

I have been asked by our architect to consider putting the output vents for
both hot and cold air (same vent) in the floor (rather than huge ducting
along the ceiling as we currently have), probably about 75cm or 30 inches
from the wall (which would visually act like a barrier to the paintings -
something we don't currently have).  We display paintings, works on paper
and some sculpture in this gallery, all contemporary.

Does anyone know if this is a good/bad idea?

Thanks in advance - please reply off-list if you can.
