Low noise emission
Carrier units have dedicated low noise options to be virtually unnoticeable and to respect the need for “church-quiet” noise levels.

Precise adaptability to load variation
Conditions inside buildings change as a result of many factors including the local climate, the time of the day and the number of visitors. Carrier solutions equipped with precise electronic capacity controls and variable-speed motors adapt to meet load variations in just a few seconds, assuring exceptional comfort and in turn ensuring minimum energy consumption.

Indoor air quality
Carrier solutions can help to ensure and maintain a highly controlled microclimate necessary to preserve the works of art, regulating the temperature and humidity levels, as well as ensuring optimal airflow quality and velocity.

Smart Energy Management
Night-mode operation, time-scheduling and precise room temperature control are key features for any cooling or heating device operating in a museum. Thanks to advanced control systems such as Aquasmart® and Carrier® PlantCTRL™, the HVAC system can be controlled and optimized as a whole for maximum comfort and minimized energy consumption. In addition, Carrier designs, engineers and implements custom-made Thermal Energy Storage (TES) solutions for HVAC systems with peak cooling demand > 500 kW. 100% smart grid compatible, the TES solution reduces the capacity of the chillers by 30% to 70%, secures the cooling production and optimizes occupants’ comfort.
