Museum and Archive Environmental Monitoring
Preserve the artifacts with precise humidity and temperature measurements
Museums, archives, and libraries contain valuable objects that are necessarily exposed to environmental conditions, whether the environment is a gallery or an exhibit case. The impact of relative humidity in the environment is roughly one order of magnitude greater than the impact of temperature. Even if relative humidity control is not available from an HVAC system, it can still be useful to have a long-term record of environmental conditions.
Learn how Vaisala helps to create the right climate for the 17th-century royal Swedish warship located in Scandinavia's most visited museum, the Vasa Museum.
Vaisala HUMICAP® relative humidity sensors have a low drift rate, making them ideal for long term measurements. Careful factory calibration of Vaisala RH measuring devices provides high measurement accuracy. This combination of attributes delivers reliable functionality and a high level of data integrity.

The Vaisala Jade Smart Cloud is independent of the HVAC system. It is a complete solution for measuring, monitoring, and documenting environmental conditions. Measurement devices can be fully wireless, making it easy to move them around when exhibits change, or when sensors are installed in free-standing exhibit cases.
Even when humidity control is provided by an HVAC system, Jade Smart Cloud is a valuable tool for monitoring conditions at precise locations. For example, close to the objects of interest, or as a tool to map conditions in a large space. Jade Smart Cloud is well proven even in the most challenging environments.
