Investigations of Enclosures Conditions and Determination of Seasonal and Daily Work Schedules of the Mausoleum Shah-Fazil, Kyrgyzstan

The scientific and practical task was set and solved to determine the seasonal and daily work schedules of the mausoleum, which does not have heating and ventilation systems. Perhaps in the eleventh century, when the structure was constructed, the fences were designed primarily for the strength and stability of the building, with less emphasis placed on the comfort and livability of the interior space for its inhabitants. For this reason, the enclosures in the upper zone of the museum are taken thin. Accordingly, the heat protecting performance of these enclosures is less. The measured low temperatures and high humidity on the wall’s inner surfaces of the lower zones and the dome showed that the mausoleum has unacceptable microclimate conditions. The temperature, relative humidity, and internal air velocity are more dependent on weather conditions and are not comfortable for visitors. Based on comprehensive field studies of the year-round and daily state of the enclosures and the museum, the periods of winter conservation and the daily schedule of the museum were determined. The beginning and end of the conservation period should be taken when the average daily temperature of the outside air is not lower than 10 °C for five consecutive days. During the winter period, the museum will operate on a daily schedule from 11:00 to 17:00, provided that the air temperature inside the museum, 2 m above the floor level, is at least 13–15 °C, and the outside air temperature is at least 12–17 °C.
