Thermal environment in public libraries
In this paper the thermal environment of public libraries was investigated. First, both the book preservation criterion and human thermal comfort criterion were explored. Secondly, the thermal environmental quality of campus library of South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences in terms of both book preservation and human thermal comfort was investigated. For this purpose, the building was divided into representative zones, in which specific measurements took place. Thirdly, annual simulation of thermal environment parameters alteration was conducted by IDA ICE software. Fourthly, survey among visitors and librarians was made to gather their indoor environment perception. Then the results were analyzed together. An inference about each zone condition was done. In the end, the whole library thermal environmental quality condition was analyzed and thermal Category for each representative zone was identified. The study showed that books in the campus library are preserved, and thermal comfort of visitors and librarians mainly meet requirements of Category A(I) of EN 15251. Also, complaints from librarians were gathered and the origin of those were explained. Finally, possible improvements for a campus library building were suggested.
