[Nhcoll-l] Air filtration (MERV rating) at collection rooms

[Miguel Pinto]

Dear all:

We will remodel a building that will harbour all our collections at the
Galapagos Islands thanks to generous donations of donors. This building
will have central AC control, and our architect is asking what level of air
filtration (using the MERV rating) is the most recommended for collections.
I am unaware of special air filtering conditions for collections, so I
would think that anything in the MERV range 8-13 would be just fine. I
would be very interested in knowing your experiences while choosing MERV
rating filters for AC systems in collections.
