Environmental Suitability for Conservation and the Risk Period for Fungal Damage of Wooden Cultural Heritages in Korea

This study applied a real-time IoT (Internet of Things) environmental monitoring system to wooden cultural heritages (WCHs) located in suburbs and forests Korea. It automated the graphs seasonal Temperature (T) relative humidity (RH) changes inside heritage structures Performance Index (PI) values. While utilizing line existing T RH change trends bar graph expressing PI values, this examined current status conservation environment WCHs throughout year its diagnosis. Consequently, at higher latitudes, organic repeatedly experienced large fluctuations, risk physical chemical degradation materials was greater. However, showed significant differences, even within same latitude, indicating that impact latitude not significant. Therefore, staff charge must manage by considering surrounding conditions adjusting internal structures. The values for year-round were confirmed only be maximum approximately 60% suitability year, depending on season. relationship between germination growth potential period xerophilic fungi monthly temperature five different latitudes analyzed. As result, we could thus determine four particular months (June–September) represent periods with highest damage from country, regardless latitude.
