Bill,
I found the following helpful:
Lull, William P. The New York State program for the conservation and preservation of library research materials : conservation guidelines for libraries and archives. Albany: University of the State of New York, State Education Dept., New York State Library, 1990.
It discusses environment criteria, building environments and systems, phases of design and construction, etc. From p. iii: “Although developed for the climate typical in New York State, many aspects will apply to institutions in other regions.”
