This report describes the results of an investigation of energy use in museums, considering their special relative humidity, temperature and lighting requirements. The report also includes an energy consumption data base for more than 50 institutions across New York State, and identifies specific opportunities for energy conservation in ten different museums. The project includes a study of potential funding sources to which museums can apply for financing energy conservation measures. Sources of technical assistance and information are also identified. The benefits to be derived from an energy audit and conservation program are emphasized in the report, and a methodology for a self-audit which could serve as a first step in initiating an overall energy conservation program is provided.
