Monitoring Object and Visitor Environments (MOVE)

博物馆是我们文化遗产的宝库，负责保护珍贵的收藏品，造福今世后代。这一管理角色的关键是管理室内条件，以防止易受伤害的物体恶化。需要采取预防性控制措施，通过将环境条件保持在一定的参数范围内，并尽量减少环境波动，将室内气候保持在保护范围内。参观者和工作人员还要求良好的热舒适性、获得自然光和良好的空气质量，以使他们能够接触到这些藏品。相互冲突的环境要求往往需要一定程度的妥协，随着气候变化的影响导致更频繁的极端天气条件，管理这些环境要求对博物馆来说将变得越来越具有挑战性。如果博物馆的环境控制和管理系统无法应对不利和不稳定的气候条件，脆弱的文物将不可避免地恶化，需要准确地监测小气候随时间的变化，这是良好的博物馆实践的基础。安全保护文化遗产是埃及博物馆的一项基本使命，埃及博物馆保存着世界上最古老和最有价值的一些文物(Ingo等人，2015年)。该区域缺乏环境控制方案一般归因于资源有限和技能短缺，这往往导致室内环境质量受损，导致易受伤害物体加速恶化。如果充分了解保护收藏品所需的室内环境参数，并实施强有力和准确的监测方案，就可以减轻这些风险。如果埃及博物馆要采取行动应对不断变化的外部条件，并减少极端天气模式对文物的破坏威胁，就需要使用尖端技术的新的用户友好型监测方法。我们的研究项目建议开发一个数字数据的可视化实时环境仪表板，旨在帮助博物馆馆长实现稳定和可控的室内条件，以应对季节性变化和不可预测的天气模式。该项目将有助于使用实时环境数据作为支持行动的一种新应用，以减少人工制品的风险并改善游客区域的舒适度。数字平台的一个关键原则是它的易用性。英国索尔福德的一个案例研究博物馆和埃及开罗的两个案例研究博物馆将为仪表盘的原型提供基础。每个地点记录的内部环境参数将用于对照相关的节约要求、舒适度标准和能源基准来评估案例研究的表现，并开发用户友好的传感器管理现场仪表盘原型，可在埃及各地的其他博物馆复制。拟议的仪表板将提供一系列标准的准确测量，包括在自然光和人造光下的暴露和照度、污染水平(二氧化碳和粉尘颗粒)、相对湿度、太阳紫外线辐射、内部运行和空气温度、外部温度和能源使用数字。对这些环境数据的现场详细实时监测将为决策者和工作人员提供有关管理、展览设计和安全存储环境的信息，同时优化资源消耗。

Museums are repositories for our cultural heritage and are responsible for the care of precious collections for the benefit of present and future generations. Key to this stewardship role is the management of indoor conditions to prevent deterioration of vulnerable objects. Preventive control measures are required to keep the indoor climate within conservation limits by maintaining environmental conditions within certain parameters and by minimising environmental fluctuations. Visitors and staff also demand excellent thermal comfort, access to natural light and good air quality to enable them to access these collections. Conflicting environmental requirements often require a degree of compromise, and managing these environmental demands will become ever more challenging for museums as the impact of climate change leads to more frequent extreme weather conditions. Where environmental control and management systems in museums fail to respond to adverse and unstable climatic conditions vulnerable artefacts will inevitably deteriorate, and the need to accurately monitor microclimatic variations over time is fundamental to good museum practice. The safe preservation of cultural heritage is an essential mission of Egyptian museums where some of the world's most ancient and valuable artefacts are conserved (Ingo et al, 2015). The lack of environmental control programmes in the region is generally attributed to resource limitations and skills shortages, which often result in compromised indoor environmental quality leading to the accelerated deterioration of vulnerable objects. These risks can be mitigated with adequate knowledge of the indoor environmental parameters required for collections care and with robust and accurate monitoring programmes. New user-friendly methods of monitoring using cutting-edge technology are needed if Egyptian museums are to take action in response to changing external conditions and reduce the threat of damage to artefacts from extreme weather patterns. Our research project proposes to develop a visual live environmental dashboard of digital data that is aimed at assisting museum curators in achieving stable and controlled indoor conditions to address seasonal variations and unpredictable weather patterns. The project will contribute a new application for the use of real-time environmental data as a means of supporting actions to reduce risks to artefacts and improve comfort in visitor areas. A key principle of the digital platform will be its ease of use. One case study museum in Salford, UK and two in Cairo, Egypt, will provide the basis for prototyping the dashboard. Internal environmental parameters recorded at each site will be used to assess the performance of the case studies against relevant conservation requirements, comfort standards and energy benchmarks, and to develop a user-friendly prototype sensor management live dashboard that can be replicated in other museums across Egypt. The proposed dashboard will provide accurate measurements of a range of criteria including exposure and illumination in natural and artificial light, pollution levels (CO2 and dust particles), relative humidity, solar ultraviolet radiation, internal operative and air temperature, external temperature, and energy use figures. In-situ detailed live monitoring of this environmental data will inform decision-makers and staff on curation, exhibition design and safe storage environments while optimising consumption of resources.
