Environmental Monitoring & Control

Protecting our past, empowering your future

The challenge of heritage preservation

Historic buildings and collections require constant environmental vigilance. Whether protected in storage, shown in display cases, or out on open display in context, monitoring and maintaining appropriate conditions is essential for the long-term preservation of collections, interiors, fixtures and fittings.

Standards

Maintaining recommended environmental conditions for mixed collections on open display can be challenging, and recording data alone is inadequate to achieve ideal conditions.

Resources

Heritage organisations can face the challenge of protecting vulnerable collections and interiors with limited staff, tight budgets, and competing priorities – making consistent environmental monitoring difficult to sustain.

Infrastructure

Installing systems in historic buildings requires non-invasive solutions that respect the interiors but can transmit through complex, dense and large structures.

Our system is especially suited to solve the complexities of environmental monitoring and control in an historic house or historic site museum setting where HVAC/BMS systems cannot be installed, but is also great for environmental monitoring in a modern museum or archive.

What We Do

Heritage iQ is a comprehensive software platform that monitors, records, reports and manages environmental conditions essential to preservation. Bringing together the science of preventive conservation and cutting edge technology to solve a critical challenge: protecting irreplaceable collections and interiors through our intelligent environmental monitoring and control system (EMCS).

Our team brings extensive knowledge and over 50 years of combined experience, covering preventive & remedial conservation, collections care and collections management, along with the problem solving, data analysis, technology expertise, and technical development skills to deliver empowering solutions for collections care professionals.

A System Built for Heritage

Advanced environmental monitoring through LoRaWAN technology – wireless, low-power sensors that protect your collections without compromising historic architecture, and easy to install control options.

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a wireless communication protocol designed for low-power devices that send small amounts of data over long distances. Devices send signals to gateways, which forward the data to a network server, and then on to applications which allow the data to be gathered and interpreted – making this an ideal solution for historic buildings.
