A special feature of Orthodox religious buildings is the presence in the worship hall of works of architecture, artistic murals, icons, frescoes, iconostases of historical and cultural value. The specificity of religious buildings: churches, temples and cathedrals is also year-round services and gatherings of a large number of parishioners and staff, reaching several thousand people. It is known that several dozen candlesticks with burning candles are installed in the halls of worship, and hundreds of kilograms of candles are burned throughout the year. Heat, moisture, and carbon dioxide, which emit harmful substances from people, and when candles are burned - soot, smoke, moisture, heat, carbon dioxide settle on the inner surfaces of the worship hall on the elements of design and decoration. As a result, the expensive decoration of the hall darkens over the years from smoke, moisture and other hazards - heat, moisture, carbon dioxide negatively affect the comfort conditions and well-being of parishioners and staff. To ensure the preservation of historical and cultural values and comfortable conditions, high requirements are imposed on the climatic parameters of the internal Orthodox religious buildings in the worship hall: churches, temples and cathedrals.
