This book elaborates on different aspects of the decision making
process concerning the management of climate risk in museums and
historic houses. The goal of this publication is to assist
collection managers and caretakers by providing information that
will allow responsible decisions about the museum indoor climate to
be made. The focus is not only on the outcome, but also on the
equally important process that leads to that outcome. The different
steps contribute significantly to the understanding of the needs of
movable and immovable heritage. The decision making process to
determine the requirements for the museum indoor climate includes
nine steps: Step 1. The process to make a balanced decision starts
by clarifying the decision context and evaluating what is important
to the decision maker by developing clear objectives. In Step 2 the
value of all heritage assets that are affected by the decision are
evaluated and the significance of the building and the movable
collection is made explicit. Step 3. The climate risks to the
moveable collection are assessed. Step 4: Those parts of the
building that are considered valuable and susceptible to certain
climate conditions are identified. Step 5. The human comfort needs
for visitors and staff are expressed. Step 6: To understand the
indoor climate, the building physics are explored. Step 7. The
climate specifications derived from step 3 to 5 are weighed and for
each climate zone the optimal climate conditions are specified.
Step 8: Within the value framework established in Step 1, the
options to optimize the indoor climate are considered and selected.
Step 9: All options to reduce the climate collection risks are
evaluated by the objectives established in Step 1.
