<b>Data and code for Humid warming offsets temperature-flexibility gains in seasonal climate control for museum buildings</b>

The study quantifies climate-driven thermal energy demand for 668 museums across China from 2000 to 2025 under three indoor environmental control scenarios: visitor comfort control, collection conservation control, and full seasonal temperature–humidity control.</p><p dir="ltr">The deposited files include the final museum metadata, scripts used to retrieve point-based hourly ERA5 climate data and calculate annual volume-normalized thermal energy intensity, the main processed output workbook, pooled province–scenario Z-score calculations, control-rule decomposition results, ventilation and dual-pressure sensitivity analyses, and processed EnergyPlus benchmark summaries.</p><p dir="ltr">Raw hourly ERA5 files and the original third-party three-dimensional building-footprint dataset are not redistributed in this repository.

These data can be obtained from the original providers cited in the associated manuscript. The national framework estimates comparative climate-driven air-treatment loads under common operating assumptions and should not be interpreted as measured whole-building energy consumption for individual museums.</p>
