Join us for an insightful talk by Professor Łukasz Bratasz as he presents HERIe, a powerful digital decision-support tool that helps assess environmental risks to heritage assets.
HERIe provides remote access to advanced data analysis and risk assessment modules, supporting informed decision-making for the preservation of cultural property. The platform includes tools to evaluate risks from:
- Mechanical damage due to fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity
- Chemical degradation
- Light Damage
- Showcase design for relative humidity control
- Fire risk
- Estimation of pollutant levels in rooms and showcases
- Automatic climate classification according to ASHRAE guidelines
Users can upload their own data to assess risks under specific environmental conditions. HERIe can also estimate the impact of moving objects between environments, such as for loans and exhibitions.
In this presentation, Professor Bratasz will demonstrate how HERIe can be used as a decision-support tool through practical case studies featured on the platform. HERIe is developed with funding from the European Commission’s GoGreen project and the Getty Conservation Institute, in collaboration with the Canadian Conservation Institute, English Heritage, and University College London.
