Our galleries in Los Angeles and Menorca have been working on practical solutions to improve the gallery’s climate control systems, delivering both energy savings and cost reductions. The team’s findings were presented at the International Climate Control Conference in December 2024, highlighting the specific achievements of our Los Angeles galleries case study.
In the spirit of the Bizot Green Protocol, using a cost‑conscious approach and driven by curiosity, the team experimented with:
Overnight HVAC system shutdowns
Leveraging seasonal outdoor temperature shifts to more effectively manage indoor conditions
Moving away from universal temperature ranges, while carefully evaluating potential risks
Expanding temperature and humidity set‑point ranges
We continue to implement these operational shifts and have already produced measurable energy and cost savings, which we continue to monitor. This work forms part of our involvement in the Ki Culture Getting Climate Control Under Control program, which supports galleries, museums and cultural institutions in adopting sustainable climate management practices.
