“…Poor assessments of heritage concrete building projects could establish incorrect causes of decay, such as solar radiation, salt crystallisation, leaks, condensation, vibration and air pollution. These factors may interrupt preventive conservation, affect the monitoring of useful parameters and increase the cost of assessing multisensor data (Martinez-Garrido and Fort, 2016). In this context, incompatible maintenance assessment procedures may result from the following failures:…”

Purpose The improper management of conventional systems for recording, diagnosing and analysing information appears to be a major problem in the maintenance of heritage buildings. This is because of a lack of detection of patent or latent defects, ineffective repair methods and inappropriate planning decisions, which increase the risks of failure throughout the lifetime of heritage buildings. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach The concept of maintenance management practices, as well as techniques and tools from information and communication technology, was reviewed to identify suitable processes and construct an information database of maintenance and management techniques. A maintenance index framework was then formulated by analysing these concepts. Findings The initial findings identify the need for decision-making support in the diagnosis of heritage building maintenance based on robust data collection. This should include the selection of a durable replacement design and material or an appropriate rehabilitation method for managing quality and reducing associated defects. Originality/value Further research into the maintenance of heritage buildings should consider various aspects in terms of sustainability. The paper concludes that implementing a maintenance index framework can help improve the decision-making performance with regard to the design, construction and maintenance operations of heritage concrete buildings.

“…They operate to a tree-type communications topology [30][31][32]. On the grounds of the 100 % success rate for received messages found for this wireless platform in a wireless communications study [33], it was chosen over other platforms [34]. The motes, fitted with IP65-rated bodies [35], can operate within a temperature range of -25 C to 85 C, whereas the Sensiron SHT25 T/RH sensors used in the Smartmote network had an operating range of -40 C to 125 C.…”

This article describes the use of non-or minimally destructive methods to study damp in San Juan Bautista Church at Talamanca de Jarama in the Spanish province of Madrid. The combination of ground penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and wireless sensor network (WSN) techniques provided sub-surface information, while data on wall surfaces were collected with contact hygrometry and infrared thermography. The respective findings and ranges of observation were interrelated to identify the decay associated with the damp and determine the advantages and drawbacks of each instrumental method. 1. 2. METHODS The study objectives were pursued with several non-invasive monitoring instruments, including data loggers, electrical conductivity and resistivity meters, infrared thermographic cameras and ground-penetrating radar antennas. This section describes the study scenario, along with the techniques and deployment schemes used. The building analysed in the case study was chosen in light of the intense damp of uncertain origin present in its walls. As several possible sources of the problem were considered, including indoor variability, leakage, the rise of capillary water and the type of construction material used, monitoring techniques based on different physical principles (such as resistivity or wave propagation) were used at different depth ranges.

“…The indoor environment depends primarily on the outdoor climate, building structure and dimensions, construction materials used, and the hydrogeology of the underlying soil [7]. Interferences may generate artificial or induced microclimates with steep temperature (T) and humidity (RH) fluctuations that may destabilise the fragile balance between indoor climate and conservation of the artistic and architectural heritage [1], such as wet-dry Several different types of buildings have been monitored, such as churches [12,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], commercial offices [14], households [11,23] or museums [20,24,25]. If we focus on the preservation of property [21,25] or diagnosis [12,18,24], thermal occupant comfort [13,16,19,22] and energy consumption are analysed simultaneously [22].…”

The energy monitoring of heritage buildings has, to date, been governed by methodologies and standards that have been defined in terms of sensors that record scalar magnitudes and that are placed in specific positions in the scene, thus recording only some of the values sampled in that space. In this paper, however, we present an alternative to the aforementioned technologies in the form of new sensors based on 3D computer vision that are able to record dense thermal information in a three-dimensional space. These thermal computer vision-based technologies (3D-TCV) entail a revision and updating of the current building energy monitoring methodologies. This paper provides a detailed definition of the most significant aspects of this new extended methodology and presents a case study showing the potential of 3D-TCV techniques and how they may complement current techniques. The results obtained lead us to believe that 3D computer vision can provide the field of building monitoring with a decisive boost, particularly in the case of heritage buildings.
