Climate Control is one of the hottest topics in the cultural world right
now. Not only is this a huge opportunity for more sustainable practices,
but it is a change to improve our knowledge and competencies as cultural
professionals. Latest scientific research indicates that climate control as
is currently practiced is not best practice for collections management -
not to mention the massive carbon footprint. Due to a slight
misunderstanding about the application of London-based parameters and
rating systems, museums have been wasting energy and money to try to
realize impossible ‘standards’ that have additionally made art inaccessible
for loans. But a new understanding of climate control and approaches that
are better for the environment, better for the collections, and better for
our wallets - are opening up doors globally.


During this event, we will explore the latest on climate control and be
presented with case studies from museums around the globe who have updated
their climate control practices - realizing energy savings of 50% through
simple measures. Join to see how museums are implementing Bizot, shutting
down their systems at night, and updating parameters based on what their
collections need rather than what their colleagues across the globe are
requiring in loan agreements. And see how registrars and conservators are
rewriting loan agreements and negotiating new terms to support this
movement.
