Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to analyze selected parameters of air in a room with a book collection taking into account the influence of components of mechanical ventilation on air flow, temperature and velocity distributions. The values of air parameters, obtained by numerical calculations in DesignBuilder, were compared with the recommended ranges. The temperature and air velocity in the cross-sections through the part of the room with the book resources were referred to the prescriptions and standards relating to the conditions in libraries. The parameters of air in the space for permanent stay of employees were compared with the guidelines corresponding to the conditions of thermal comfort.
