Ductwork in Museums and Galleries
Museums and galleries often control humidity, temperature stability, noise, and airflow velocity around exhibits.
Stop if
- This grille throws air toward an exhibit wall. Do we verify diffuser throw and humidity/noise requirements before install?
Watch out
- Do not move diffusers or change throw without checking the exhibit/environmental requirements.
Check
- Confirm diffuser type, throw direction, humidity control intent, noise limits, and access restrictions.
Steps
- Identify whether this is normal ductwork or a controlled/special condition.
- Confirm diffuser type, throw direction, humidity control intent, noise limits, and access restrictions.
- Get the current drawing/detail/spec/submittal before changing routing, material, access, or support.
- Bring photos, location, and what you checked to the foreman before closing or covering the work.
