We are in the early stages of a proposed renovation project. Campus
planning people are questioning HVAC specifications (plus or minus
variances on temperature and relative humidity). What are recommended
variances for art museums today? Are there any published reports and/or
articles on the subject?

I don't want to end up with a facility that due to cost restrictions we
would be unable to accept certain traveling exhibitions and loans due to
environmental requirements that we were unable to meet.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
