Heritage site climate control FAQs

Why are climate control solutions important for heritage sites such as churches, cathedrals, and castles?

Climate control solutions for cathedrals, churches, castles and more are incredibly important as these structures and artefacts are highly susceptible to moisture damage. Because they are aged and hold such incredible historical and cultural value, uncontrolled climates can badly damage these sites, perhaps even irreparably.

Climate control technology is imperative to preventing this gradual damage, stopping humidity or air quality from falling outside of safe boundaries.

How do climate control solutions contribute to the preservation of heritage sites?

Heritage site climate control solutions support many aspects of the conservation process – primarily minimising the threat of water damage. Whether it is the preservation of stained glass windows, or keeping historic organs functional in centuries-old churches, these systems make a big difference in preventing issues that cause building materials, relics and textiles to fall into disrepair.

What types of climate control solutions are often used in historic buildings?

Dehumidifiers are among the most prevalent climate control solutions used in historic buildings. This is because they are ideal at controlling the amount of humidity in the atmosphere, greatly restricting the threat of moisture damage.

Other equipment that can support the preservation of heritage sites includes:

  • Heaters
  • Air coolers
  • Air cleaners and air purifiers

Can you integrate climate control solutions into older churches, cathedrals and castles without compromising their historical integrity?

Yes. We understand it is critical to maintain the historical authenticity of older churches, cathedrals and castles. We design our climate control systems to be discreet, meaning they never compromise your visitors’ experience.

Are there any specific challenges in implementing climate control solutions for heritage sites?

The challenges associated with implementing climate control solutions in heritage sites include:

  • Ensuring units are well-hidden and not distracting from the look of the site
  • Minimising the costs associated with running these systems
  • Determining the right size and capacity of unit to cover the affected area
  • Limiting the amount of maintenance or repairs your systems require

At Dantherm Group, we work closely with you to understand your requirements, and use our decades of experience to counteract these common challenges.

Can your climate control solutions benefit the preservation of historic church organs?

Yes. Moisture damage to the wood or metal used in organs can cause unsightly rust or mould, which over time could interfere with their distinctive sound and potentially even render yours completely unusable. Our climate control solutions address the level of moisture in the atmosphere, limiting the long-term damage to these historic instruments.

Are your climate control options for heritage sites energy efficient?

Yes. Balancing preservation with climate control has often been a challenging proposition. We invest greatly into our components and the engineering of our products to maximise efficiencies. This helps heritage sites protect their invaluable structures and artefacts in the most economical way possible.
