Description
The foundation for advancement in conservation (faic) will conduct research and develop tools enabling cultural heritage professionals to make institution-specific decisions to lower environmental impacts. Faic will partner with researchers to understand the carbon impact of six activities central to museum collections work: treatment; environmental control; emergency preparedness; time-based media and digitization; pest control; and object loans. For each topic, the project will create an environmental modeling tool to calculate energy use and environmental impacts; a case study demonstrating the model; a user guide to help generate results; and a sustainability action guide to provide information and advice based on site-specific results. By providing tools and information needed for professionals to make more sustainable daily choices, this project will address increasing concerns about energy use within the field.
