Past, present and future effects of climate change on a wooden inlay bookcase cabinet: A new methodology inspired by the novel European Standard EN 15757:2010

Past reconstruction and future forecast of domains of indoor relative humidity fluctuations calculated according to EN 15757:2010

“…Documentary proxies (i.e. historic written documents collected and analyzed to extract quantitative information related to temperature variability over centuries) have been transformed into indexes from −3 to +3 and then into • C after calibration and verification with instrumental observations over a common period used for calibration [11,15].…”

Towards Zero-Emission Refurbishment of Historic Buildings: A Literature Review

“…About 54% of these documents (n = 26) describe methodological approaches that deal with intervention processes, while 31% of them (n = 15) focus on energy-retrofit measures and energy-efficiency evaluation after the refurbishment process (e.g., [24][25][26][27]). Four publications (8%) present conservation methods that take into account the effects of future climate-change scenarios [28,29] and the evaluation of microclimate conditions [30,31] in the building. Finally, two documents primarily focus on the carbon footprint calculation after intervention [32,33], and one publication discusses the methodology in the decision making process [34].…”

Assessment of the Minimum Sampling Frequency to Avoid Measurement Redundancy in Microclimate Field Surveys in Museum Buildings

“…This standard recommends that analysis of the microclimatic quantities monitored should be based on measurements sampled at 1 h for a period sufficiently long to allow the understanding of the temporal trends. European standard EN 15757:2010 [18] defines the historical climate, i.e., climatic conditions to which an object has resisted for a long period under reasonably acceptable conditions and to which it has acclimatized [19]. This standard recommends that the historical climate be maintained, especially as far as RH is concerned if the object has been found in good conditions.…”

“…Sampling intervals should be one hour or less, in order to respond to the time scale and the dynamics of the phenomena under investigation. Recent studies have applied the above regulation to reconstruct past indoor climates and to assess the impact of the expected future climate change [19,20]. In the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Air-Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineers) guidelines [21], five classes of quality control are defined on the basis of seasonal and daily T and RH fluctuations.…”
