New approach for climate control in managing cultural collections housed in heritage buildings

Cultural objects in museum are usually kept in controlled environment which rely heavily on air-conditioning systems to ensure that a stable climate is maintained in order to prevent the objects from deterioration. But based on “content analysis” made on recent museum guidelines and new methods on c...
