The repository is the second completed Passivhaus archive for architects Architype, benefitting from lessons learned to produce a highly refined and efficient building. A Passivhaus strategy offered IWM an opportunity to use a low-energy method that guaranteed stable environmental conditions for significantly lower running costs. Traditionally this has been achieved through a finely tuned balance of complex building services. To ensure the long-term preservation of the collections it is critical that the environmental conditions of the building remained very stable and well within the optimal tolerances for temperature and humidity.
