Passive environmental control

Can anyone suggest any passive systems that could help a heritage
building that does not have power.  The building is close to the sea
and has a large garden surrounding it. The displays are in glass
cases and they are considering the use of silica gel as one method
but would be interested in any other procedures that could help to
protect their collections of archaeological and social history
