Washington is Worth the Wait

Washington is worth the wait. Whatwait? Your next Annual IAMFA Con -ference will be held November 1–4,2009, in Washington, D.C.—a full 131/2months after the London Conference,and just about eight full years since thelast D.C. conference. The confer encecommittee is working hard to preparea program that you will not want tomiss. We have learned a lot from ourLondon, Ottawa and Los Angelespredecessors, and we are planninga unique and dynamic experience.

When you last came to D.C. for anIAMFA Conference, the Newseum hadnot yet moved to Pennsylvania Avenue,next door to the Canadian Embassy.You visited the Old Patent Office Build -ing housing the National Portrait Galleryand the Smithsonian American ArtMuseum, which had been closed forrenovations, with demolition wellunder way. The new National Museumof the American Indian had not yetbroken ground on the National Mall,and the Udvar Hazy Center in theshadow of Dulles Airport had not yetopened to rave reviews. George Bushwas President of the United States,dealing with the aftermath of terroristattacks on New York City and on thePentagon, just across the PotomacRiver from Washington’s Lincoln andJefferson Memorials. Marla ChanonTobar hosted us at Meridien House, and

the Gala Dinner at the National Galleryof Art was the pièce de résis tance. Thatbit of history may conjure up dozensof memories from your last trip toWashington, if you were among thelucky ones to attend IAMFA D.C. 2001.Let’s look forward, now, to November.

Much has changed in the Nation’sCapital. The Capitol Building has a new$600-million visitor center—yes, it ison the agenda. Udvar Hazy and theMuseum of the American Indian bothopen. Renovations have been com -pleted at the National Archives Building,and at The Old Patent Office Building,now renamed the Donald W. ReynoldsCenter for American Art and Portraiture.Barack Obama will be sitting in theWhite House, tackling issues fromwar to the economy to stem cells.New leader ship abounds, with a newPresident at IAMFA, John De Lucy, anda new Secretary at the Smithsonian,Wayne Clough. Nancy Bechtol, Com -mittee Chair, and Tiffany Myers, herdedicated Administrative Specialist,are honing a program second to none.You will be educated and entertained,informed and inspired—in short, youwill be amazed.

The program starts off on Sundaywith the now-customary BenchmarkingWorkshop led by Keith McClanahan,

hosted by Alan Dirican and theBaltimore Museum of Art. Memberswill get there early in the morning bymotor coach, and guests will followan hour or two later. We’ll all return toD.C. from Baltimore after dark. There -after, buses will be rare. We’ll do a lotof walking and—if the weather turnssour—we’ll use the Metro the way weused the Tube in London, but there willalways be alternatives for those whoneed assistance. Many of our venuesare within fifteen scenic square blocksalong Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.,America’s Main Street. Easy walking,and great sightseeing. As always, the

Letter from the Editor

Guest Program will be so spectacularthat members will be enticed to playhooky from the regular program! Mem -bers’ days will be full, and eveningswill be capped off with the networkingopportunities we have all come to rec -ognize as an IAMFA best practice. We’llpolish off the conference with a GalaDinner at the Great Hall of the Libraryof Congress.

Then, as if we learned a neat newtrick in London, we’ll provide anoptional (but not-to-be-missed) post-conference tour to the new Hazy Air& Space Museum Annex next toDulles Airport, and to the new Libraryof Congress collection storage facility

in Manassas, Virginia. So, your calen -dar should already be marked andyour travel plans penciled-in, makingWashington your destination forIAMFA D.C. 2009, November 1–4.

And now, a challenge to you: invitea new attendee from your area to joinus in D.C. for their first IAMFA Con fer -ence. It will be one they—and you—will never forget. Watch this space forannouncements as conference plansare finalized in the next few months.

Dan Davies is Facility Manager at theNational Zoo in Washington, D.C.,and is a former Secretary of IAMFAand Editor of Papyrus.

Greetings from Los Angeles!As I write this letter, it is the week afterthe U.S. holiday called Thanksgiving.Many of our international membershave heard of this American andCanadian holiday: a day originally setaside to give thanks for the harvest.Today, we all celebrate this holidaywith a broader meaning, giving thanksfor everything that we have in our lives.

This year has been a very difficultone for many people around the world.Economies have suffered; many havelost their jobs; many have lost a sig nif -i cant portion of their savings and retire - ment accounts as the world’s marketshave tumbled to levels that no one everthought were possible. As we close inon the year’s end, we see a glimmerof hope that the worst is over. Wehope that next year will bring newopportunities for all.

Message from the PresidentMot du président

Mensaje del Presidente

John de LucyPresident / Président / Presidente, IAMFA

Thank you for electing me as yourPresident at our recent Annual GeneralMeeting, and for the many “Thank you”messages telling us how much you allenjoyed the London conference—Ithink Merida received more praise thananyone else! Memories of great timesabound, and I hope you visit the photowebsite (details below) to remind your -selves what everyone got up to. Thegala dinner photo certainly looks likeeveryone was having a good time. IsJoe Brennan really that tall or is it theCalifornia sunshine that has made himgrow into a giant?

Many thanks must go to the Londonorganising committee (British Museum,National Gallery, Natural HistoryMuseum and British Library) who puton a great show at each of their venues,and contributed to an excel lent learn -ing experience as well as a lot of fun—weren’t those Gospel singers at theBritish Museum on the Sunday nightopening ceremony just great? The boattrip to Greenwich to see the Queen’sHouse and the new Royal Observatoryat the National Maritime Museum, andthe dinner on the way back, were mostmemorable. Everyone stood astridethe Meridian Line to be in both theeastern and western hemispheres atthe same time—we facility managerslike a challenge!

Merci de m’avoir élu président lors denotre récente assemblée générale annu -elle et pour les nombreux messagesde remerciements nous mentionnant àquel point vous tous avez apprécié lecongrès de Londres – je pense queMerida a reçu plus d’éloges que qui -conque! Les souvenirs de bons momentsabondent, et j’espère que vous irezvoir les photos sur le site Web (détailsci-dessous) pour vous rappeler ce quechacune et chacun a fait de beau. Laphoto du souper de gala témoigne àn’en pas douter que tout le monde aeu du plaisir. Est-ce que Joe Brennanest si grand? ou serait-ce plutôt le soleilde Californie qui en aurait fait un géant.

Mille mercis doivent être adressésaux membres du comité organisateurde Londres (British Museum, NationalGallery, Natural History Museum etBritish Library), qui ont mis sur piedde merveilleuses activités à chacun deces endroits et contribué à une excel -lente expérience d’apprentissage assortiede beaucoup de plaisir – les chanteursde gospel, lors de la cérémonie d’ouver -ture au British Museum, le dimanchesoir, n’étaient-ils pas simplementfabuleux? L’excursion en bateau versGreenwich pour voir la Queen’s Houseet le nouveau Royal Observatory duNational Maritime Museum de mêmeque le repas pris sur le chemin du retour

Gracias por elegirme su nuevo Presi -dente durante la Reunión GeneralAnual y por todos los mensajes espe -cialmente cuanto disfrutaron todos dela conferencia en Londres - ! me pareceque Merida recibió más elogios quenadie! Los recuerdos de momentosfabulosos abundan y espero que visitenel sitio de Web de fotos (los detallesestán a continuación) para acordarsede lo que hicieron todos. En la fotode la cena de gala se ve que se estándivirtiendo. ¿Es realmente tan alto JoeBrennan o lo convirtió en gigante elsol de California?

Hay que agradecerles mucho a losmiembros del comité organizador deLondres (El Museo Británico, la GaleríaNacional, el Museo de Historia Natural,y la Biblioteca Británica) los cualesrealizaron una obra espectacular encada uno de sus puntos de encuentroy contribuyeron a una oportunidadexcelente de aprendizaje al igual queuna oportunidad de sana diversión –¿no eran fabulosos esos cantantesevangélicos quienes nos acompañarondurante la ceremonia de apertura enla noche del domingo en el MuseoBritánico? Vale la pena recordarse, elcrucero a Greenwich donde pudimosver la Casa de la Reina y el nuevoObservatorio Real del Museo Marítimo

Hopefully it was a seamless confer -ence for you all, and you did not noticeany panic behind the scenes—no mat -ter how much planning goes into thetwo-year preparation, there are alwayslast-minute changes.

Everyone seemed to throw them -selves into having a good time, rene -wing friendships and learning—yes,it is possible to do both at the sametime—and I know many of you wenthome with good ideas for your owninstitutions, fully justifying your atten -dance. We were particularly pleasedthat so many people came all the wayfrom New Zealand and Australia—fivein all—it was great meeting you all.Nothing to do with Merida beingAustralian, of course!

The optional extra day on Thursday,visiting an important new project atthe British Library site near York, wascertainly worthwhile (we were delightedthat over 80 people chose to come)—so much so, that Washington plans todo the same with an off-site visit onthe Thursday after their conference.

As usual, the British weather provedyou sceptics all wrong—no one neededtheir umbrellas or ponchos—and weprovided a week of lovely sunshineto top-up your tans.

The Executive Director of oneLondon host told me he had notrealised how large IAMFA was, andwhat illustrious organisations weremembers, and he was delighted thathis organisation was represented. It isthe support of our own executives toour membership of this organisationthat will enable us to continue to grow.Let’s hope the success of the Londonconference will form the bedrockfor yet another superb conferencegather ing in Washington, D.C. onNovember 1–4, 2009.

Going forward, I am keen wemaintain the high standards we havealready achieved in the three mostimportant aspects of your membership:Papyrus, the benchmarking exercise,and the learning and networking oppor -tunities at our annual conference. I am

sont inoubliables. Chaque personnes’est tenue sur la ligne méridienne, unpied dans l’hémisphère occidental etl’autre dans l’hémisphère oriental –nous, les administrateurs d’installations,on aime le défi!

On espère que cela a été un congrèssans anicroche pour vous et que vousn’avez décelé aucune panique encoulisses – peu importe le degré deplanification nécessaire à la préparationde deux ans, il survient toujours deschangements de dernière minute.

Tout le monde a semblé s’êtrepromis d’avoir du plaisir, de renoueravec des amis et d’apprendre – oui,c’est possible de faire les deux à lafois –, et je sais que plusieurs d’entrevous êtes retournés chez vous avec debonnes idées pour vos propres établis -sements, ce qui justifie pleinement votreparticipation. Nous nous sommes par -ticulièrement réjouis du fait que tantde personnes soient venues d’aussiloin que d’Australie et de Nouvelle-Zélande – cinq en tout; cela a été unplaisir de vous rencontrer tous. Rien àvoir, bien sûr, avec le fait que Meridavient d’Australie!

La journée supplémentaire du jeudi,offerte en option et qui proposait lavisite d’un nouvel ouvrage importantde la British Library près de York, avalu à coup sûr le déplacement (plusde 80 personnes y ont participé, ànotre grand plaisir) – à tel point queWashington projette de faire la mêmechose comme visite hors les murs lejeudi après le congrès qui s’y tiendra.

Comme d’habitude, la météo britan -nique a confondu tous les sceptiques –personne n’a eu besoin de parapluieni de poncho – et nous avons profitéd’une semaine de soleil radieux pourparfaire notre bronzage.

Le directeur administratif d’un établis -sement hôte de Londres m’a confié qu’iln’avait pas réalisé l’envergure de l’IAMFAet quels organismes illustres en étaientmembres, et il était ravi que le siensoit représenté. C’est le soutien de nospropres dirigeants à nos membres del’organisme qui nous permettra de

Nacional y la cena de vuelta. Todo elmundo se paró encima del Meridianode Greenwich para estar en los hemis -ferio este y oeste al mismo tiempo – anosotros los profesionales de instala -ciones nos gustan los retos.

Espero que haya sido una confer -en cia sin contratiempos para Ustedesy esperamos que no se hayan dadocuenta de ningun panico tras basti -dores - no importa cuanto se planificalos dos anos de preparativos, siemprehay cambios de ultima hora.

Me pareció que todo el mundo seesforzó en disfrutar del aprendizaje yla renovación de viejas amistades – sies posible hacer las dos cosas a la vez- y se que las buenas ideas que muchosde Ustedes se llevaron a casa parautilizar en sus propias organizacionesjustificaron completamente su par ti ci -pación. Nos agrado en especial la grancantidad de participantes que viajarondesde Nueva Zelanda y Australia – 5en total – oigan, fue una gran reunión.¡Por supuesto esto no tenia nada quever con el hecho de que Merida fuereaustraliana!

Fue valioso el día extra opcionalel jueves cuando se visito un nuevoproyecto importante de la BibliotecaBritánica cerca de York (nos encantóque mas de 80 personas eligieran ir).Fue tan exitoso que los de Washingtonplanean hacer lo mismo con un viajefuera del punto de encuentro principalel jueves después de su conferencia.

Como de siempre, el tiempobritánico se encargó de demostrar quetodos Ustedes los escépticos se habíanequivocado - nadie necesitó de susparaguas o de abrigos para lluvia – yproveemos una semana de sol preciosopara perfeccionar sus bronceados.

Un director ejecutivo de uno denuestros anfitriones en Londres dijoque no se había dado cuenta de cuangrande era IAMFA y de cuantas orga -nizaciones prestigiosas fueran miem -bros y que se sentía encantado de quesu organización fuese representada. Esel apoyo que nuestros propios ejecu -tivos brindan a nuestra membresía que

concerned that there are not enoughlocal chapter meetings to encouragemembership and events in the regions,and I hope you will all help JohnCastle in his new role on the board,by inviting members to tours of yourbuildings, and then sending somephotos to Joe May for Papyrus. Whatis so good about our group is the freeexchange of information, helping eachother solve problems so that we do nothave to reinvent the wheel. Do pleasee-mail each other more often when everyou have a question to solve.

Our membership in ICOM hasalready led to enquiries from Russia,Ireland and Poland, so hopefully withGuy Larocque now heading up ourinter national relationships, we willsee a growth in new countries joiningIAMFA.

I look forward to seeing you allagain next November at the Washingtonconference; in the meantime, pleasedon’t hesitate to contact me, or othermembers of the IAMFA board andmembership with any ideas or concernsyou may have.

John de LucyPresident of IAMFA

continuer à croître. Espérons que lesuccès du congrès de Londres con -stituera le fondement d’un autre ras -semble ment exceptionnel à WashingtonD.C. du 1er au 4 novembre 2009.

Pour ce qui s’en vient, je tiens à ceque nous maintenions la grande qualitéque nous avons déjà atteinte en ce quiconcerne les trois aspects les plusimpor tants de notre adhésion : Papyrus,l’exercice d’étalonnage ainsi que lesoccasions d’apprentissage et de réseau -tage à notre congrès annuel. Cela mepréoccupe qu’il n’y ait pas assez deréunions des sections régionales pourencourager les adhésions et les activitésdans les régions, et j’espère que vousaiderez tous John Castle dans sonnouveau rôle au conseil en invitant lesmembres à des visites de vos édifices,puis en en faisant parvenir des photosà Joe May pour Papyrus. Ce qu’il y ade bien par rapport à notre groupe,c’est l’échange d’information à titregracieux, l’aide apportée aux autrespour résoudre des problèmes de sortequ’il n’est pas nécessaire de réinventerla roue. N’hésitez pas à courrieller plussouvent les uns avec les autres lorsquevous avez besoin d’une réponse à vosquestions.

Notre adhésion à l’ICOM a déjàdonné lieu à des demandes de ren -seignements provenant de la Russie,de l’Irlande et de la Pologne, alorssouhaitons-le, avec Guy Larocquemain tenant à la barre de nos relationsinternationales, nous verrons unecroissance dans l’adhésion denouveaux pays à l’IAMFA.

Je me réjouis de vous revoir tous ànouveau en novembre prochain aucongrès de Washington; entre-temps,n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec moiou avec d’autres membres de l’IAMFAou du conseil pour toute question ouidée qui vous viendrait.

John de LucyPrésident, IAMFA

nos permitirá a crecer. Esperemos queel éxito de la conferencia en Londresnos sirva de base para otra conferenciasobresaliente en Washington del 1 al4 de Noviembre 2009.

Para continuar el camino, me esesencial que mantengamos las altasnormas ya logradas en los tres aspectosmas importantes de su membresía –Papyrus, la Encuesta Anual de Evalu -ación Comparativa (Bench marking) ylas oportunidades para aprender ydesarrollar sus redes de contactosdurante la conferencia anual. Mepreocupa que no haya suficientesreuniones de los capítulos locales parafomentar la membresía y los eventosregionales y espero que todos le ayudena John Castle en su nuevo papel en laJunta a través de invita ciones a otrosmiembros para visitar a sus instalacionesy luego que envíen fotos de las visitasa Joe May para incluir en Papyrus. Lobueno de nuestro grupo es el libreintercambio de infor mación para ayu -darnos a resolver prob lemas para queno tengamos que volver a empezarde cero siempre. Por favor mándensemensajes a través del Internet más amenudo cuando tengan una incógnitapara resolver.

Nuestra membresía en el ConsejoInternacional de Museos (ICOM) ya hatraído peticiones para información deRusia, Irlanda y Polonia; estoy seguroque con Guy Larocque a cargo denuestras relaciones internacionales,veremos un aumento en el númerode nuevos países que se afilien.

Estoy con ganas de volver a verlos atodos en la conferencia de Washingtonel próximo noviembre; mientras tanto,no duden en ponerse en contactoconmigo, o con otros miembros de laDirectiva de IAMFA o con la membresíaen general para manifestar las ideas opreocupaciones que les surjan.

National Museums Liverpool’s originsdate back to 1851 and the foundingof Liverpool Museum. In 1986, theLiverpool Museum was given officialinstitutional status, due in part to theoutstanding quality of its collections.Its estate currently consists of sevenpublic venues, which together attractover two million visitors each year.These are:

• The World Museum Liverpool(founded in 1851, formerly knownas the Liverpool Museum)

• The Walker Art Gallery (opened in1877)

• The Lady Lever Art Gallery (openedin 1922)

• Sudley House (built in the earlynineteenth century)

• The Merseyside Maritime Museum(opened in 1980)

• The National Conservation Centre(opened in 1996)

• The International Slavery Museum(opened in 2007)

In 2006, the Museum of LiverpoolLife, located on Liverpool’s historicwaterfront, closed to allow buildingwork to start on the new Museum ofLiverpool, which will open to the

public in 2010. The old Museum ofLiverpool Life, with its limited floorspace, could no longer accommodatethe more than 300,000 visits a year itwas receiving. With a greater amountof space, the new museum will be ableto better represent the history of thecity, and can place Liverpool within awider British urban context.

In November 2006, UNESCO gavethe all-clear to the Museum of Liverpoolfollowing a special mission to the city,

during which the team determined thatthe £71-million waterfront buildingposed no threat to the World HeritageSite. Building work began in April2007 on the site, construction beingconstrained by three significant issues:

• The building is located on the siteof the previously in-filled historicManchester Dock, which requiredsignificant archaeological investi ga -tion before work could commence.

• There is a railway tunnel runningbeneath the site, which requiredthat excavation and construction ofthe substructure and steelwork hadto be carefully planned, in order toensure that the loads in the area overthe tunnel did not impose unequalforces on the structure beneath.

• The site is bounded by threeother major construction projects:a £120 million commercial mixeduse deve lopment, the constructionof a £20 million extension to theLeeds-Liverpool canal linking theNorth and South dock system, andthe re-landscaping of Liverpool’s PierHead. Co-ordination and co-opera -tion between the sites is essential tothe delivery of each project.

Housed in a landmark building atthe core of Liverpool’s World HeritageSite, the new Museum will provide8,000 m 2 of public space across threefloors, and visitors will have access toover 6,000 objects that are currently instorage, many of which have neverbeen on public display before. As amajor boost to the Liverpool economy,it is estimated the Museum of Liverpoolwill attract more than 750,000 visitorsper year, providing at least 500 con -struc tion jobs and 73 direct permanentjobs. It is also a major physical and

cultural legacy of 2008: Liverpool’syear as European Capital of Culture.

The Museum is based on a strikinggeometrical design and is clad in naturalJura stone. Beneath the surface is acutting-edge, complex steel frame thatsits on a cellular concrete raft founda -tion. The steel structure allows theMuseum’s largest exhibition spaces—which are 40 metres long by 28 metreswide, to be column-free, ensuring thatthe galleries and public spaces aremaximised. Some construction factsfor the new Museum:

• 20,000 m3 of soil, equivalent to thevolume of eight Olympic-sized swim -ming pools, have been excavatedfrom the site.

• The steel frame is constructed with2,100 tonnes of steel, equivalent tothe steel in 270 double-decker buses.

• 5,700 m2 of natural Jura stoneis being used to clad the museumwhich, if laid out flat, would coveran entire football pitch.

• 1,500 m2 of glazing will be installed,mainly in two large picture windows,one at each end of the building.These windows will be 8 metreshigh by 28 metres wide, and willoffer striking views of the Pier Headand the River Mersey

• A spectacular atrium, containing aunique elliptical staircase, will belit by natural light from a skylightin the centre of the building.

• The Museum is striving for strongenvironmental credentials. It willfeature a rainwater harvesting sys -tem and will be powered by anenergy centre with a combinedheat and power plant.

• Total cost of the project from basebuild to fit-out is around £71 million.

Falconry is the Sport of Kings, withhistory dating back over four thou -sand years. Today, one of the world’soldest field sports is being used as agreen alternative for urban bird con trol.As a “green” and “natural” method ofbird abatement, the emphasis whenusing raptors is on prevention ratherthan eradication. This form of pestcon trol minimizes impact on theenvironment.

“The aim of pest control with birds ofprey,” says Canadian Trevor Mellish—owner of The Birdman, Nature’s PestSolution in Vancouver, British Columbia,“is to offer an environmentally sensi -tive option. The intent is basicallyscare tactics.”

A natural, genetically-coded fearinstinct is the primary reason for theeffectiveness of using raptors in birdcontrol. The hunting birds soar overroosting areas and the predator-preyinstincts of the problem birds kick in,forcing them to take flight to find saferroosting areas.

A Pigeon-Free, No-Fly ZoneDerek Martin, Head of Building Servicesat the British Museum, uses raptors tocontrol roosting pigeons at his insti tu -tion. He introduced Emu, a Harrishawk, as “the youngest member of theFacility Management team” to attendeesat the 2008 International Association ofMuseum Facility Administrators AnnualConference this past fall. IAMFA par -ticipants were welcomed to the stepsof the British Museum by the three-year-old hawk, balanced on the glovedarm of falconer Richard Polley. Theyoung raptor works two days a week tokeep the British Museum pigeon-free.

Falconer Polley, an employee ofVanVynck Avian Solutions, explained,“We use predatory species to displaceand interrupt the behavioral patterns ofthe pigeons.” VanVynck Avian Solutions,which specializes in urban bird manage -ment, has clients which include the

National Gallery on Trafalgar Square,the Victoria and Albert Museum, andthe British Library.

“Pigeons are amazingly adaptable,and netting or using spikes as a deter -rent does not always get rid of them,”explained David Van Vynck in aninterview with London’s EveningStandard. “Hawks work by disturbingthe pigeon’s pattern of roosting andnesting. They make them feel uneasyand they move on.”

Herculaneum HawksProtect Roman RuinsAt the Roman ruins and open-airmuseum of Herculaneum just south ofNaples, Italy, museum administratorshired falconers to protect the ancientruins from acidic pigeon droppings.“Pigeons represent a serious threat tothe conservation of the area,” reportstheir website. “The acidity of their drop -pings seriously damages the struc turesand the ancient decorated surfaces.They are also constantly pecking at thewooden beams and the carbonizedwooden fixtures.”

Two Harris hawks and a falconpatrol the ruins and keep the pigeonsfrom nesting in the excavated villasthat were buried by the same eruptionthat covered Pompeii in A.D. 79. Theancient timbers that survived the infernowere being deteriorated by peckingpigeons. Italian law prohibits pigeonsfrom being shot. In Texas, however, itis a different story.

Bird Abatement sansPoison or GunpowderIn the south-central area of the UnitedStates, Facility Administrators don’ttypically have to contend with pigeons;however, from October to March—when migratory cowbirds, starlingsand grackles fly south for the winter—their nighttime social roosting behaviorcreates problems. Attracted to lit, openareas with trees (sound like your park -ing lot?), the birds congregate at night.“With flocks of over 10,000 birds, youcan imagine what parking lots looklike after the night is over,” says fal -coner Roger Crandall of Fort Worth,

Texas. “Falconry is an excellent methodfor dispersing these huge nighttimeroosts,” he states. Crandall trains Harrishawks to fly at night. “They don’tnaturally fly at night; it is a learnedbehavior.”

“This is as green as it gets,” adds theTexan, who moved 10,000 nuisancebirds from Dallas-Fort Worth Inter na -tional Airport terminals and parking lotswith 18 trained raptors, and withoutthe use of poisons or gunpowder.

A Visual DeterrentDown UnderSince it is currently illegal to practicefalconry in Australia and Tasmania,full-size replicas of hovering hawksmade of weatherproof plastic are used.The National Museum of Australia’sproblem with seagulls fouling the sidesof their glass building was solved byinstalling an imitation hawk and playinga recording of seagull distress calls.

“The program has been reasonablysuccessful,” reports John Ryan, Managerof Facilities and Risk Management atthe Museum. “We play the ‘seagull indistress’ call intermittently, becauseif you play it continuously the birdsbecome used to it and start to ignoreit. The hawk is a kite on a pole, similarto those used to keep birds away fromfruit trees. The FM staff spoke to a

number of suppliers to determine thebest solution to this problem.”

Ryan advises other FM adminis -trators: “Look at all of the bird controlsystems available and determine whichlooks to best suit your application. Itmay take a combination of systems toalleviate the problem, as the birds canbecome used to only one system.”Reportedly, the plastic device repelsmost birds, including cockatoos, crows,corellas, starlings, jays, parrots, andmynahs. The only birds with which100% results have not been achievedare the resilient house sparrow andthe crane.

Causing a Flap in TorontoAs Ryan warns, a singular method ofbird abatement does not always work.In Toronto, Canada, hawk handlerDan Frankian adds hunting dogs tothe formula when using hawks todisperse Canadian Geese. “Our permitsays ‘scare only’,” reports Frankian,of Hawkeye Bird Control, in a recentCBC radio interview.

The City of Toronto hired HawkeyeBird Control to clean up Nathan PhillipsSquare, a lively public gathering placelocated in front of Toronto City Hall.French-fry-toting tourists were “literallyoverwhelmed and attacked by gulls,”said Frankian. Gulls pestering pic nick -

ers now fly off when the hawks appearand begin staking out their territory.“Birds of prey are very territorial,”explained the falconer, whose hawksare “trained specifically for gulls; they’llchase them right out of the Square.”

Frankian claims that using raptorsis “the green and most efficient way”to get rid of problem birds, but is iteffective? “You’ll see quite a reductionin numbers. Originally when we gotthere, there were quite a few thousand.Now it’s dropped to under a couplehundred. When the systems are fullup and operational, you’ll see lessthan ten or 12 birds running around.”

Although its roots are in medievalhistory, using raptors for urban birdcontrol may be the next green initiativefor FM administrators in this newcentury.

The 18th annual conference of theInternational Association of MuseumFacility Administrators was held inLondon, England from September 14to 18, 2008, and what an amazing eventit was. The origins of London dateback to an original Roman settle mentin A.D. 46, and it is now the capital cityof the United Kingdom of Great Britainand Northern Ireland. No wonder thatLondon, with its nearly two thousandyears of history, captured the attentionof IAMFA conference attendees withsuch distinction.

Let me begin by expressing gratitudeto all of the conference organizers:

John de Lucy, British LibraryHarry Wanless, British Library Merida Fitzgerald, British LibraryDavid Sanders, Natural HistoryMuseum

Michael Gainey, Natural HistoryMuseum

Bill Jackson, National Library ofScotland

Stephen Gill, British MuseumDerek Martin, British MuseumPhilippa Edwards, British MuseumSteve Vandyke, National GalleryCharles Ross, National Gallery

I know how much time these indi -viduals spent planning the conferenceover the last two years. Welcome tothe fraternity of past IAMFA confer -ence hosts! Everyone knows how muchyou did to make this one of the trulygreat conferences our organization hasever held.

This year’s conference was attendedby a record 146 members and guests,not including the many sponsors that

contributed to the intellectual contentand financial support of the conference.It is important to mention that memberand guest conference fees cover justa portion of the conference’s totalexpenses. The generous support ofsponsors allowed the organizing com -mittee to incorporate the spectacularvenues, trips, and meals we allenjoyed during this year’s conference.

Sponsors for this year’s annualconference were:

Black and McDonald Ltd. (BuildingService & Maintenance)

Capita Symonds (Project & CostManagement)

Gardiner & Theobald LLP(Construction & PropertyConsultants)

Camfil Ltd. (Energy Efficiency AirFiltration Solutions)

Emcor Facilities Services Ltd.(Facilities Management Services)

Norland Managed Services Ltd.(Facilities Management Services)

As in prior years, Day One (Sunday)was the benchmarking conference fora record 60 participants in the annualbenchmarking exercise. The bench -marking exercise is coordinated byFacilities Issues Inc., and led by KeithMcClanahan. The list of participantshas grown by 65% over the past twoyears, and continues to be a corner -stone of the IAMFA organization. Thisgrowth in participation is evidence thatIAMFA members are sharing knowledgegained from operating their individualinstitutions—just as envisioned ten yearsago when the annual bench markingexercise began.

Day One wrapped up on Sundayevening with the opening ceremoniesfor the conference at the BritishMuseum. The British Museum is amuseum of human history and culturedating back to 1753, with more thanseven million objects in collectionsthat are amongst the largest and mostcomprehensive of their kind in theworld, documenting the story of humanculture from its beginnings to the pre -sent day. Our evening at the BritishMuseum included a wonderful com bi -nation of welcoming speeches by ourhosts and organization leaders, andrefreshments of canapés and cocktails.

What an amazing evening it was,greeting old friends and meeting somany new members. The atmosphereafter dark was elegant in the BritishMuseum as we assembled in the King’sLibrary, then browsed at our leisure inthe Great Hall and Gallery 4, whichdisplayed such exhibits as the RosettaStone and Elgin Marbles.

Many thanks go to our hosts andthe evening’s sponsor, Gardiner andTheobald LLP.

Monday morning brought the startof the IAMFA Conference, beginningwith a Tube ride to Leicester Square,and a short walk to Trafalgar Squareand the National Gallery. The NationalGallery houses one of the finest collec -tions of Western European paintings inthe world, all belonging to the Britishpublic. Founded in 1824, it houses arich collection of over 2,300 paintingsdating from the mid-thirteenth centuryto 1900 in its home on Trafalgar Square.The façade by William Wilkins is theonly part of his original building from1832–1838 that remains essentially un -changed, as the structure as a whole hasbeen altered and expanded through outits history.

The theme for the first official dayof the conference was Energy Per for -mance and Performance Audits. Fol -low ing opening remarks by NicholasPenny, Director of the National Gallery,attendees heard presentations by LauraMacDonald, Facilities Manager (Moni -tor ing and Targeting, Deviation Report -ing, Sub-metering); Joe Padfield, SeniorScientific Officer (Web Based Presenta -

tion Tools for Environmental Dataused at the National Gallery); KeithMcClanahan, President of FacilitiesIssues (2008 IAMFA BenchmarkingSummary); Steve Vandyke, Head Tech -nical Services (Chiller Plant Develop -ment at the National Gallery), andHoward Hall of Andrew Reid andPartners (Environmental & Engineer -ing System Audits & Improvementsat the National Gallery). Before lunch,the group chose between tours of thechillers, ETFE roofs, the East WingProject completed in 2006, or a tourof the collections.

Guests of conference attendees spentMonday morning touring the city bycoach, then joined IAMFA membersat the National Gallery for lunch.

Following lunch, everyone walkedfrom Trafalgar Square to WestminsterPier on the banks of the ThamesRiver, and boarded a riverboat for theone-hour cruise to Greenwich. Manythanks to Chris Ecob, and Camfil Ltd.,who sponsored the river cruise toGreenwich.

Upon arrival at Greenwich, it wasjust a short walk to the largest mari -time museum in the world, where theentire group heard remarks by PeterFotheringham, past president of IAMFA,and now Head of Estates at Universityof Greenwich. Chris Halliday, who isHead of Estates at the National Mari -time Museum, then arranged a tourof the Queen’s House. The Queen’sHouse, Greenwich, was commissionedby Anne of Denmark, wife of James I(reigned 1603–1625). James was oftenat the Tudor Palace of Greenwich,where the Old Royal Naval Collegenow stands—it was as important aresidence of the early Stuart dynastyas it had been for the Tudors. Tradi -tionally, he is said to have given themanor of Greenwich to Anne in apol -ogy for having sworn at her in public,after she accidentally shot one of hisfavorite dogs while hunting in 1614.

Next, everyone hiked up to theRoyal Observatory, home of GreenwichMean Time and the Prime Meridian,

one of the most important historicalscientific sites in the world. It wasfounded by Charles II in 1675 and is,by international decree, the officialstarting point for each new day, yearand millennium (at the stroke of mid -night, GMT, as measured from thePrime Meridian). There, everyone hadsome free time to walk the GreenwichMeridian Line and view Harrison’s TimeKeepers in the Time and LongitudeGallery at Flamsteed House. The laser,series of clocks and line markingsindicate zero degrees longitude forour planet. We were then seated inthe Peter Harrison Planetarium fora welcome by Dr. Kevin Fewster,Director of the National MaritimeMuseum, and then a live show in theplanetarium entitled “Sky Tonight” byAstronomer Dr. Claire Bretherton. Weheard daunting facts about our universeas we leaned back and gazed upwardwhile the night sky generated in thedome above us brought in focus theplanets, constellations, and galaxieslike we had never seen them before.

After the show the entire group“nipped” back to the Thames Riverto sample one of England’s greatesttraditions, namely the English Pub. We

visited the Trafalgar Pub, which wasthe ideal location for a pint or two toquench our thirst. This magnificentRegency-style pub was built in 1837,the year Queen Victoria came to thethrone. Durng the mid-nineteenthcentury this was one of several grandGreenwich pubs, which becamefamous for their Whitebait Suppers.

Dinner on Monday evening wasaboard the Naticia on our dinner cruiseback to London. What a wonderfulevening on the Thames with greatfood, beautiful views of the city lights,and presentations from John DeLucyand our Sponsors for the evening.Many thanks to EMCOR FacilitiesServices Ltd. who sponsored theevening dinner cruise.

A quick night’s rest brought us toDay Two of the official proceedings,with events beginning at the BritishMuseum. The theme for the morningpresentations was Maximizing Per -formance and Continuous Improve -ment through Contract Specifications.Several presentations by members andsponsors outlined criteria in contractsthat can have a significant impact onthe performance of contractors engagedto provide care and cleanliness for our

institutions. Following welcomingcomments by Stephen Gill, Directorof Visitor and Building Services, weheard presentations by Craig Little(Gardiner & Theobald LLP), Rob Potts& Jonathan Pearson (Norland ManagedServices), and Derek Martin, Head ofBuilding Services. Tony Wilson, SeniorProject Manager, Capital Projects andEstates, made a presentation on theMuseum’s North-West Development.Morning tea and a choice of toursconcluded our morning at the BritishMuseum.

Guests spent that morning at theTower of London, where they had anopportunity to view the Crown Jewels,and also to meet the Queen’s personaljeweler. Guests toured the Tower ofLondon, and then traveled by coach tothe British Library, where they joinedmembers for lunch. The British Libraryis the national library of the UnitedKingdom, and one of the world’s great -est libraries. It receives a copy of everypublication produced in the U.K. andIreland, and collections include 150 mil -lion items, with three million new itemsincorporated every year. The Libraryhouses manuscripts, maps, news papers,magazines, prints and drawings, musicscores, and patents. These collectionsrequire over 625 kilometers of shelves,growing by an additional 12 kilometersevery year.

During the afternoon, following awelcome by Steve Morris, Director ofFinance & Corporate Services, membersheard presentations on the theme ofCapital Projects by John DeLucy, Headof Estates and Facilities (Introduction tothe Additional Storage Building); MarkBlake and Paul Terry (Capita Symonds),and Harry Wanless, Property & Con -struction Project Manager (LessonsLearnt from Construction of BL Centrefor Conservation). Members then touredthe Library’s new Conservation Centre,and conducted the annual IAMFABusiness Meeting.

During the business meeting,John DeLucy was elected to serve asour IAMFA President following Guy

Larocque’s two terms as President.John Castle from the WinterthurMuseum was elected VP, RegionalAffairs, filling John DeLucy’s openboard position. All board membersaddressed the membership providing astate of affairs of IAMFA with regard tofinancial status, membership, Papyrus,the website, goals and objectives, andstrategies and tactics for the near future.

Dan Davies, of the National Zoo inWashington, D.C., gave members anoverview of the progress in planningnext year’s annual conference inWashington. The D.C. organizingcommittee is going to have a “hardact” to follow, but preliminary plansare spectacular. Please stay tuned toPapyrus and IAMFA.org for details.Next year is sure to be anotheramazing annual conference.

Guests traveled Tuesday afternoonto Kensington Palace, where they visitedthe Gardens, the Last Debutantes Exhi -bition, the State Apartments, a tour ofthe Royal Ceremonial Dress Collectionand Diana’s Fashion and Style Exhi bi -

tion, before ending the afternoon atthe Orangery.

On Tuesday evening, members andguests had an opportunity to exploreLondon’s nightlife, while the IAMFAboard met to further discuss the busi -ness of the organization. Spouses andguests joined the board for a latedinner at St. Pancras Station. NancyBechtol from the Smithsonian joinedthe board, assuming the role of host fornext year’s annual conference in D.C.,and Joe Brennan from the San FranciscoMuseum of Modern Art also joined themeeting as he will assume the role ofconference host in 2010. Although wesay farewell to Guy Larocque as ouroutgoing President, Guy has graciouslyagreed to continue in his role as Chairof the International Membership Com -mittee, further developing our asso -ciation with the International Councilof Museums (ICOM), and IAMFA’s veryspecific goal of growing internationalmembership through that affiliation.

On Wednesday, members met atthe Natural History Museum, while

guests “shopped London”. The NaturalHistory Museum is one of the world’sfinest and largest museums of naturalhistory, with hundreds of exhibitsranging from the volcano experienceto the dinosaurs exhibition, creepy-crawlies exhibition, blue whale, earthstreasury, and central hall, with itsVictorian architecture and dinosaurskeleton. The Museum is home to lifeand earth science specimens com -prising some 70 million items withinfive main collections: Botany, Ento -mology, Mineralogy, Palaeontologyand Zoology. The museum is a world-renowned centre of research, special -izing in taxonomy, identification andconservation. Given the age of the insti -tution, many of the collections havegreat historical as well as scien tificvalue, such as specimens collectedby Charles Darwin.

Members were greeted at theMuseum by the Director Dr. MichaelDixon, and heard presentations on thetheme of Sustainability. Presentationswere made by Simon Tileard (London

Guests joined members for lunch,then toured the Natural History Museum,the Victoria and Albert Museum, or theScience Museum. Following lunch,members chose from a selection ofarranged tours, then had free time tolook around the Museum prior toheading back to the Hotel Russell.

A little time to rest, and then it wastime to get dressed for the IAMFA Gala,held this year in the Earth GalleriesAtrium at the Natural History Museum.

This year’s conference gala was heldin a stunning venue with lighting andsurroundings that couldn’t have been

more breathtaking. Many of the mem -bers arrived at this year’s gala wearingdinner jackets, adding to splendor ofthe evening. After a wonderful dinnerand selection of regional wines, weheard presentations from John DeLucybeginning his term as IAMFA President;Guy Larocque, our Past President; JimMoisson, Derek Martin, and othersincluding the evening’s sponsor,Norland Managed Services. Norlandgraciously sponsored this year’s gala,and also made a contribution off set tingthe greenhouse gases created by mem -bers and guests attending this year’scon fer ence. At evening’s end, we alsocaught a glimpse of next year’s orga -nizers as they continue to plan nextyear’s Washington, D.C. conference.The 2008 IAMFA Gala was truly anunforgettable evening!

The final day of the 2008 IAMFAConference began with a walk toKing’s Cross Station, where membersand guests boarded a train to York fora visit to British Library’s new “Low

Oxygen” Automated Storage Facility inBoston Spa. This facility is one of rela -tively few in the world with a reducedoxygen atmosphere to proactivelyelimi nate the risk of fire, instead of aconventional reactive sprinkler systemto extinguish a fire once it starts. Con -structed alongside the Library’s existingbuildings in Boston Spa, this facilitywill provide additional storage capa -city for seven million items from theU.K. national collection, which is cur -rently expanding at a rate of 12 kilo -meters of linear shelf space per year.The fully automated facility will houselow- and medium-use items from theLibrary’s immense collections of booksand journals, helping the Library tomeet its storage requirements over thenext decade, while also providing astorage environment that is superior tosome of the premises currently in use.

and unique characteristics of the newfacility. Following the tour, membersrejoined guests in the city center ofYork for lunch at the MerchantAdventurer’s Hall.

The Merchant Adventurer’s Hall isthe largest timber-framed building inthe city of York. Founded in 1357 asa religious institution known as theGuild of Our Lord and the BlessedVirgin, the Hall was later taken over bythe Merchant Adventurer’s Company,which controlled foreign trade in thecity. They were first given a RoyalCharter by King Edward III. The four -teenth-century great hall, undercroftand fifteenth-century chapel are allopen to the public and display thehistory of the Company, along withtheir collection of silver and portraitsof local benefactors.

After lunch, the train ride backto London was a perfect opportunityto reflect on a very busy week withso many memorable events andactivities. This has to be one of themost mem orable conferences in ourorganization’s history.

I would like to finish by again thank -ing the London Conference organizersfor all their hard work and hospitalitytoward all of the IAMFA members andguests who were fortunate to haveexperienced the 2008 IAMFA AnnualConference in London. The onlyremain ing thought I have is whetherthe Washington, D.C. Conferenceorganizers will be up to the challengeof matching the elegance, the learn -ing, the networking opportunities, andprofessional development witnessedthis week in London. Somehow, Ihave a feeling that the members inthe U.S. Capital will have a few sur -prises in store for us next fall at the2009 IAMFA Annual Conference inWashington, D.C.

Boiler Replacement at the Natural History Museum in London

When it was recognised by the NaturalHistory Museum (NHM) that its boilersystem would require major overhaulor replacement, several options wereconsidered.

To find the necessary technical solu -tion, together with innovative financialoptions, the NHM asked CynerginConsultants to invite energy servicecompanies to tender for a 1,400 kWeCHP engine, and to provide alter na tivesolutions, including conversion frommedium-pressure hot water to low-pressure hot water and absorption coo -ling. Vital Energi was selected for itsexperience operating several suc cess fulplants in Denmark, where CHP hasbecome an accepted part of the land -scape. Vital Energi proposed the use ofa tri-generation (heating, cool ing andpower) plant, which would address theissue of heat loads in sum mer, whilealso meeting an increased demand forcooling from the newly constructedDarwin Centre. The whole concept be -hind the design illustrated a clear movetowards reduction in carbon emissionsand increased energy efficiency.

Tri-generation systems offer the envi -ronmental benefit of reducing green -house gas emissions resulting fromthe energy we consume. Usual powerstation efficiency is around 35–45%,depending on fuel source and stationtype—as compared to tri-generationplants, which typically achieve anoverall efficiency of around 80-85%.

The InvestmentVital Energi ultimately further refinedtheir design and installed a CHP ratedat 1,800kWe, along with taking respon -sibility for designing, building, financ -ing and operating the equipment for15 years. This allowed the £3 millionthat the Museum had set aside for

refur bishment of the boiler system tobe invested back into the Museum.

Vital Energi invested £3.5 millioninto the project; this included the cost

of the purchasing of the CHP andabsorp tion chillers. Further improve -ments to the Museum’s infrastructurewere required in order to enable it to

accommodate the new scheme. A newchilled water circuit had to be installedto link the existing localised coolingsystem at the NHM to the energy centre.The practicalities of installing this overa 1,000-metre network caused prob -lems, but these were mitigated by theirincorporation into other new develop -ments on site. Throughout the installa -tion process, two of the existing boilerswere preserved to maintain heatinglevels at the NHM: a requirementfor the adequate preservation ofthe Museum’s collections.

SavingsAs part of its agreement with theNHM, Vital Energi guaranteed that the

Museum would save £579,000 annuallyover the course of the 15-year contract,with savings above this minimumsubject to a profit-sharing scheme.

Recent readings from the tri-gener -ation CHP plant at the NHM have shownthat it is achieving 80–85% efficiency.This has meant that, over the first yearalone, the CHP plant has reduced NHMcarbon emissions by 1,500 tonnes.

Introduction of the CHP plant hasalso reduced the level of risk at theNHM. The previous system deliveredheat at medium pressure, required afour-man team to maintain, and wassubject to statutory inspections. Theconversion to a low-pressure systemhas reduced these risks and costs.

Conclusions and FutureProspectsThe Museum is benefiting from a low-risk agreement that guarantees con -siderable annual financial savings overthe lifetime of the project, with noinitial investment. The CHP has alsoreduced the annual carbon dioxideemissions of the NHM by providingour energy more efficiently.

San Francisco ChapterJoe Brennan from the San Francisco Museum of ModernArt reports that the 2010 IAMFA Annual Conference will beheld September 19–22, 2010. The Benchmarking Workshopwill be held on Sunday, September 19, an Ice Breaker recep -tion on Sunday evening, and so on through the closing galaon the evening of Wednesday, September 22. For thosewith affection for lunar facts, there will be a full moon onthe 23rd, so if the skies are clear, there will be both anafternoon and evening moon.

Australia ChapterDean Marshall, Head of Facilities Management at theNational Gallery of Australia, has agreed to chair theAustralia Chapter of IAMFA. There are quite a few newmembers, and there will be some discussion in the futureconcerning the number of members, the distances involved,and if a single chapter can continue to serve everyone well.

Below is a recent shot of construction at the NationalGallery of Australia. Construction is progressing well. Theattached photo was taken some months ago, and is nothinglike the current state of progress, but gives you an idea ofhow it looked in its early stages.

The Chapter reports that some of the topics it will bediscussing soon are:

1. Environmental Sustainability including ESD, water,electricity, waste, etc.

2.Disability Access (public areas and public exhibitions)

The Auckland Art Gallery Toi o TamakiDevelopment Project

By Patricia Morgan

IAMFA members who attended the 2005 Conference inBilbao may recall the excitement I expressed at the soon-to-commence project which would seismically strengthen,heritage protect/restore and extend the Auckland ArtGallery building. Well, three years later, we finally gotstarted on this $113-million project! We handed the siteover to Hawkins Construction in September this year,following more than two years of delays as we sought tocomply with regulatory processes around the proposeddevelopment. The main change—lowering one part of thenew roof which provides daylight to the Level 2 contem -porary art gallery—was finally resolved and we were givenapproval to proceed.

This first phase of the project—clearly illustrated in thephotographs—has been both exciting and heartstopping!

The full reality of the project’s size really hits home whenyou walk the site and watch the cranes and diggers dra ma -tically changing our landscape on a daily, if not hourly,basis. I have to tear myself away to go back to work (in anearby council office building) as I am finding this phase—site preparation, tree removal and deconstruction of thenon-heritage parts of the building—completely riveting!Fortunately, we have installed a webcam, so we can watchprogress even from our desks! The webcam can be accessedthrough our website at www.aucklandartgallery.com: justclick on “development webcam” on the home page!

The first photograph shows the building from thenorthern end, with the trees removed from the forecourtarea. The trees were relocated to a nursery, and we willfind a new home elsewhere in the city for the ones thatcontinue to thrive after twelve months. The second photo -graph is taken from adjacent Albert Park, and shows acrane working to remove trees located within the new build -ing boundary. It also shows the location of our temporarygallery in the small building to the right of the red andcream building, immediately opposite the site.

The third photograph illustrates partial demolition of the1970s building which filled the gap between the 1887 wingand the 1916 addition—it actually shows the partly demol -ished staff room on the top level, and immediately under -neath the staff room, the cavity that used to be my office!

The last photograph, taken in early November 2008, givesa very good view of the heritage buildings. To the left iswhat we refer to as the East Gallery. This now freestandingbuilding—the wedge at the southern end has been removedsince this photograph was taken—was an early expansion(1916) of the original council offices/public library/publicart gallery, which were all contained in the building tothe right. Unfortunately, the 1916 building underwentmajor alterations in the 1950s when a mezzanine floorwas installed, and in the 1980s when the mezzanine floorwas ripped out and two additional floors were inserted toprovide two levels of storage for the burgeoning art collec -tion, with a workshop below. Very little of the originalinteriors, other than the clerestory, remain. We will bereinstating this gallery, although changing the proportionsa little with the insertion of a “floating floor” to provide on-level access. Once demo lition is completed, we willstart excavating the middle area which has been cleared,to accommodate two levels below ground—the lower forplant and the upper for back-of-house activities.

At the moment, the project is on target for completion inlate 2010 (two years from now) with re-opening scheduledfor early to mid-2011. We certainly expect to be fully oper -ational by the time we host the 2011 conference—I willkeep you posted!

News from the Norton Museum of Artin West Palm Beach, Florida Jane Pangborn, Director of Administration at the NortonMuseum of Art, reports on the particular challenges facingfacilities located within hurricane zones. The 31-story condo -minium tower shown in the photograph below sits diag -onally across from the Museum, and was severely damagedduring the hurricanes of 2005 and again in 2006. Flyingdebris from the condominium tower also damaged the roofof the Museum during the hurricanes.

Built in 1974, thetower contains 119residential units. It is300 feet tall and sitsin the middle of sur -face parking on theIntracoastal Water -way in West PalmBeach. The buildingis now uninhabi -table, and has beenboarded up since2007. The buildinghas recently beenpurchased by adeveloper, who hassubmitted extensiveplans to the City ofWest Palm Beach.

Their plans were turned down by the city commission, andmodified plans have been submitted. Staff at the Museumthink a new development will be approved during the firstquarter of 2009. Part of the approval will be a requirementto tear down the existing building within 180 days.

The Museum has concerns regarding the new develop -ment’s impact on the Museum’s HVAC system and, depend -ing on the means used by the developers to take thebuilding down, vibration and shifting in the ground. Thenew construction also calls for underground parking on theproperty, which slopes down to a point that it is probablyless than 10’ above sea level.

Jane is interested in hearing from any IAMFA memberswho have had experience with a similar demolition thisclose to their facility, and says she would be happy for anyassistance they can offer. She can be reached [email protected] or 561-832-5196, ext. 1106.

André Kirouac, Director of the Naval Museum of Quebec/Musée naval de Québec, reports that, in Fall 2008, theCanadian Maritime Command officially approved the cre -ation of the Naval Museum of Canada. This new national

museum will be divided into five components from fivemajor Canadian cities: Halifax, Quebec City, Winnipeg,Calgary and Victoria. The museum will also include theNational Naval Collection, bringing together the collectionspreserved by 24 Naval Reserve Divisions from the Atlanticto the Pacific. The Museum’s collections are currently storedand displayed in 29 locations and 29 different buildingsand rooms. The experience of IAMFA members will cer -tainly be appreciated during the coming years as the NavalMuseum of Canada takes shape. André can be reached [email protected] or 418-694-5560, ext. 5657.

IntroductionIn late 2005, the National PortraitGallery had to address two problems.Firstly, and most importantly, thesteam boilers—which provide bothheating and humidification to theGallery—were in danger of completefailure. They needed replacing imme -diately. Secondly, there was a concernover the lack of cooling capacity to theGallery. Under extreme summer con di -tions, the installed chillers were unableto cope with peak cooling demand.

BriefTo rectify these problems, the Galleryembarked on a programme of work,based on the following brief:

1. To replace the boilers as a matterof urgency.

2. To provide a greater level of standbyin terms of chiller capacity.

3. The new installations were to beconfined to existing plant areas.

4. The environment within the gallerieswas to be maintained whilst thework was carried out.

5. Energy efficiency had to beimproved.

The greatest challenge by far wasthe need to contain the new plantwithin the existing plant areas. TheNational Portrait Gallery is located onan extremely congested site, and therewas no opportunity to create new plantareas within the site’s confines.

ApproachAvailable plant areas housed the steamboiler plant and a redundant absorption

refrigeration machine. The sequentialapproach adopted was therefore to:

1. Remove the redundant absorptionmachine and create space for thenew boiler plant.

2. Install a new boiler plant in theold chiller plant room, keeping theexisting boilers in operation duringthe work.

3. After changing over to the new boilerplant, remove the now redundantsteam generators.

4. Install a new chiller plant in theold boiler room to supplement theexisting cooling system.

The chiller strip-out and new boilerworks were carried out in the summer

of 2006, and the additional chiller wasinstalled in the winter of 2007/2008.

Replacement SteamBoiler PlantThe existing steam boiler plant com -prised 2 no vertical gas-fired steamgenerators rated at 1000kg/hr andoperating at 6 bar.

Prior to making the decision toreplace these boilers, a number ofalternative solutions were considered,including replacement of the existingsteam-injection humidifiers with close-control electric humidifiers to each air-handling plant. A low-pressure hotwater system could then be introducedto meet the heating load.

Analysis of the original designshowed that, of the 1940kg/hr steamrequirement to meet the building load,only 232kg/hr was required for humi -dification purposes. In other words, only12% of the building’s heating energydemand required steam gener ation. Therest could have been met with low- ormedium-pressure hot water systems.

Whilst the attendant running andmaintenance costs of steam plant wereconsidered high, it was concludedthat, given the investment in the steamdis tribution infrastructure and the highcost of introducing a new low-pressure hot water heating system, itwas desirable to retain the existingsteam distribution network.

The Gallery had excellent historicaldata on actual steam consumption,and these showed that average steamgeneration for the site was in the orderof 700kg/hr to 800kg/hr, with a peakof approximately 1000kg/hr. This com -pares to the design load of 1940kg/hr;i.e., approximately half of what hadbeen anticipated.

It was therefore decided that theexisting plant could be replaced withtwo 1000kg/hr boilers. The machinesselected were gas-fired shell-and-tubeboilers, which provide high reliabilityand longevity. In addition, and ata practical level, the boilers wereextremely compact and, as they hadto be manoeuvred into place, through

the reception area doors, this wasextremely important. The photographclearly shows how little tolerancethere was in bringing the boilersinto the building.

New Chiller PlantAs with the boilers, physical limita -tions dictated the capacity and typeof plant that could be installed. Calcu -lations showed that the building cool -ing load to be 1210kW. The two air-cooled chillers, located on the roof ofthe main building, provided a capacityof 912kW. The existing plant couldnot, there fore, meet the predictedload of the building.

The Pump TowerA detailed study of the plant room,comparing various chiller types, con -cluded that the most efficient chillerwas a Hitachi twin-screw machine,delivering 408kW of cooling. This ma -chine, combined with the existing plant,could therefore provide a maximumcapacity of 1320kW. Enough to meetthe building demand.

A feature of the new chiller instal -lation is the use of the existing “pumptower” to provide free cooling duringwinter (the building was originallybuilt to house the pumps serving thefountains in Trafalgar Square). A fea -ture of the “pump tower“ is the existingdry coolers, which were incorporatedinto the structure and which weresized to dissipate waste heat from theoriginal absorption machine. Theywere oversized for heat rejection fromthe new chiller, but they offered anopportunity to provide a free coolingcycle under low climatic conditions.These coils therefore provide heatrejection from the new chiller whenoperating in normal mode. In winter,

chilled water is circulated directlythrough these heat exchangers toprovide “free cooling”.

MonitoringDue to the sophisticated buildingmanagement system installed in thebuilding, we are able to adjust andmonitor the performance of the chilledwater system.

Our current efforts are focused onmaximising the free cooling cycle. Inthe first instance, we have elevatedchilled water temperatures in order tomaximise the potential for free cooling.At present, this is being carried outman ually, but the intention is to sched -ule the chilled water flow temperaturebased on both cooling demand andthe requirement for dehumidification.

Climatic conditions are nowentering a phase in which free coolingis available, and initial monitoringresults are encouraging.

With an ambient condition of 3°C,we are able to achieve cooling acrossthe tower of 1.5°C. This is equivalentto 160kW of cooling. The fan energy

consumed under these conditions is16kW. The equivalent energy consump -tion of the main chiller plant to meetthe equivalent load is approximately43kW. An energy saving of around27kW is being achieved.

SummaryWhilst the use of free cooling is nota new concept, the use of existingequipment within the pump tower hasprovided an innovative way of reduc -ing the Gallery’s energy consumption.At the same time, introduction of thenew steam boilers with improvedoperating efficiency, matched moreclosely to the building load, will furtherreduce energy usage. The project hastherefore achieved all of the goals thatwere defined at the start of the projectand is acting as a springboard for theNational Portrait Gallery’s drive toreduce energy consumption.
