Milestone for HERIT4AGES: Sensor Installed in Estonia
We are thrilled to announce that the HERIT4AGES project has achieved a significant milestone! Our partner, Foundation Santa María la Real has developed an advanced Monitoring Heritage System (MHS) to monitor cultural heritage assets. With support from the Institute of Baltic Studies, this system has been installed at the Korporatsioon Vironia building in Tartu, Estonia.
On November 4–5, 2024, a team of technicians installed 35 sensors across 22 control nodes, gathering data on 13 parameters crucial for heritage conservation. These include:
temperature and relative humidity sensors,
luminosity sensors,
CO2 sensors
volatile organic compounds (TVOC), particulate matter (PM), formaldehyde (HCHO), and ozone
person-counting sensors
Specialized sensors track room occupancy and environmental conditions, while a rooftop weather station provides external data.
The goal is to monitor the building's conservation conditions using a custom algorithm over the next two years. The data will allow our partners to compare the building’s state before and after the HERIT4AGES solutions are implemented, enabling evaluation of their effectiveness.
Additionally, all data will be integrated into the HERIT4AGES digital ecosystem, designed by IDP Group, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and analysis.
We sincerely thank our partners for their invaluable contributions to this milestone. This achievement marks a step forward in sustainable heritage management and preservation!
