Heritage Consultancy

Whether for refurbishment, extension, or new-build, input is available from design stage through to completion. Integration of collection care is ensured through development of briefs and specifications, design team involvement and implementation guidance.

SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Good environmental control is ideally achieved passively through good building design and construction –  including high thermal mass, hygroscopic ability, solar control, the use of enclosures in storage and on display, and the application of wide control bands allowing seasonal fluctuations.

 

PROFESSIONAL & PEER SUPPORT

We work with those at all levels in collections care roles, supporting their solutions for sustainable measures, and strengthening their voice at the negotiating table or in project design meetings. We provide a positive environment in which to explore unconventional options for collections care issues and innovative ideas that support the incorporation of sustainable goals from the start.

 

MONITORING AND CONTROL SOLUTIONS

We provide both the equipment to measure humidity, temperature, and light in collection spaces, as well as analysis of the data and recommendations to improve control, efficiency, and carbon reduction.
