The report “Low-energy storage facilities - concept and sustainability” is intended as a hands‑on tool for contractors, consultants, museum professionals and public authorities involved in creating or upgrading storage environments. It serves both as an introduction to the concept of low‑energy storage and as a detailed technical reference.
The first section explains the core principles behind low‑energy storage, covering structural considerations, air‑conditioning approaches and the importance of environmental stability for long‑term preservation. The second section details the technical and building specifications required for establishing a compliant low‑energy storage facility. This includes the building envelope, structural solutions, ventilation systems, measurement methods and energy‑use requirements. These specifications function as a practical checklist for both new constructions and renovation projects and are primarily aimed at building design consultants and contractors.
The report concludes with an appendix featuring explanations of technical calculations and a table of selected Danish low‑energy storage facilities and their performance across several parameters.
