Going into this process, WCHS really did not fully understand how extensive the evaluation of the HVAC system at the museum in Reads Landing would be. While the recommendations are extensive and rather daunting, WCHS now knows where they stand as to the condition of their HVAC system and the air quality within the museum itself.
As one of the many volunteers at the Wabasha County Historical Society Museum in Reads Landing, this report appears to be extremely exhaustive and very complete. Most importantly, it gives recommendations which are listed by priority of Highly Recommended, Recommended, and Not Recommended. This will give the all-volunteer staff at the museum a guide as to what is most in need of attention and the items which might not seem as urgent.
The data logger reports were extremely instructive as to the air quality within the museum. Volunteers at the museum were quite surprised that the quality of was as good as the data loggers had shown, however, they are also aware that the air quality in the museum is not optimal and now have goals at which to aim.
