D. CLIMATE-NEUTRAL CULTURAL FACILITIES

26 November 2020, 10 am - 1 pm

The real estate industry has a significant role to play in achieving Europe-wide climate targets. The responsibility and obligation of facility management to act on a sustainable basis through concepts such as Green Bonds and Green Buildings is more than ever in focus. Green products seem to be in demand among investors. Yet to date they represent only a fraction of the total volume. How can cultural institutions such as theatres and museums address the issue of technical equipment in their buildings and develop strategies to steer CO2 balances towards neutrality? Neither digitisation nor sustainability are mere hypes whose urgency is fading - on the contrary: the cultural sector must undergo a radical rethinking process as to how culture can operate sustainably not only in digital, but also in physical and technical spheres.

Impacts of climate change on historic buildings and interior conditions

Dr. Johanna Leissner
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft / Forschungsallianz Kulturerbe (German Research Alliance Cultural Heritage)
Scientific representative

Climate change is one of the most important global challenges of our time. Although many studies have been conducted to explore its impact on e.g. biodiversity and agriculture, little is known as to whether and to what extent climate change influences cultural heritage assets. Against this background, the EU-funded "Climate for Culture" project (2009-2014) has investigated the potential impact of changing climate conditions on historic buildings and the collections they contain as well as on the future energy demand in Europe and the Mediterranean. Art objects are often very sensitive to variations in humidity and temperature. The main innovation was to use a combination of simulation and modelling tools to predict more accurately the influence of changing outdoor climate on the indoor and microclimate in historic buildings until 2100. Further, future energy demand for climatisation of historic buildings was calculated. By using an automated procedure an assessment of the damage potential in various climate zones was performed. In order to assess the damage potential of these future climatic conditions, a set of damage functions has been applied to four categories of objects (sculptures, panel paintings, furniture and paper manuscripts).

Digital Twin Technology Vision - Natural History Museum (engl.)

Ian Gloding
Natural History Museum London

I will describe the NHM's Digital Twin Technology Vision, which envisages an ecosystem of people, spaces, objects, devices, software providing data in context, that inform better decison making. The outcomes we are driving include optimisation of environmental conditions; involving energy saving, protecting our collection of 80m specimens, predictive maintenance for in gallery interactives and the building itself. I will share some of the outcomes to date.
