International Conference on Building Performance and Environment

16 January 2019

Our environmental monitoring specialist, senior conservator Nancy Georgi ACR, has recently returned from a stimulating international interdisciplinary conference hosted by the Hornemann Institute in Hildesheim, Germany. The three-day conference - Klimazone Kirche: Präventive Konservierung der Ausstattung ('Church Climate: Preventative Conservation of Interior Furnishings') - explored climatic conditions within historic ecclesiastical buildings and examined techniques to detect and mitigate damages caused by a building's poor environment.
