Record 1 2010-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Security
CONT

In many cases, security was the secondary function of the cleaning staff, or some other member of the museum staff. Senior management did not really understand security needs.... Most museums and heritage associations have now become very conscious of the real need for security, especially when loaning their collections to other institutions.

Record 2 2007-08-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
CONT

Functional Air Conditioning. Air conditioning for functional(i. e. scientific and technical) requirements is to be limited to those instances where there is a clear case for the control of temperature and/or humidity and where this can not be achieved by passive thermal control, such as shading and insulation. Computer rooms, rare book library stacks, rooms housing specialised equipment, animal houses, metrology and measurement laboratories and museums are examples of areas that may require air conditioning owing to function.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
DEF

Technique de création et de maintien à l'intérieur des locaux de conditions d'ambiance favorables au confort des occupants, au fonctionnement maximal des installations et au déroulement optimal du travail en cours.

OBS

Exemple d'application : blocs opératoires. L'usage, qui a parfois ses caprices, n'entérine pas «conditionnement d'air fonctionnel» dans le cas des salles d'ordinateurs. On dit toujours climatisation de salles d'ordinateurs.

OBS

[...] conditionnement d'air et climatisation sont tout à fait acceptables comme synonymes dans la langue courante; on se rappellera toutefois que la langue technique écrite a ses exigences et que la précision est une de ses qualités fondamentales. [...] Dans la pratique, on distingue, selon le but visé : la climatisation, le conditionnement d'air industriel et le conditionnement d'air fonctionnel.
