Climate change impact on the degradation of historically significant wooden furniture in a cultural heritage building in Vestfold, Norway

Climate change is expected to significantly affect the interior climate of old, leaky buildings without HVAC systems. As a result, items cultural significance that are hosted indoors will experience new ambient conditions, which their degradation. In current research, impact on biological, mechanical, and chemical degradation cabinet storage trunk made wood have paintings outer surface investigated. These two found in different rooms historic timber building Vestfold, Norway. Data from REMO2015 driven by global model MPI-ESM-LR used order account for past, present, future conditions. addition, data ERA5 reanalysis assess accuracy MPI-ES-LR_REMO2015 results. Whole hygrothermal simulations employed calculate temperature relative humidity inside host interest. The transient condition certain characteristics surfaces as inputs models describe biological examined using i) updated VTT mould ii) Growing Degree Days ( GDD ) dependant insects. mechanical deterioration assessed method proposed Mecklenburg et al. (1998). concept Lifetime Multiplier LM furniture. Results reveal significant risk very high risk. biodeterioration remains at acceptable levels. Moreover, it could be possible would damaged insects future. It then suggested both should moved room with proper conditions minimize extend life span. Finally, implementing bias correction underlined.
