Wood-assess: Systems & methods for assessing the conservation state of wooden cultural buildings
Europe's rich culture in wooden buildings are rapidly degrading due to environmental impact, improper conservation techniques, and lack of resources and technological tools for appropriate conservation. These issues are addressed in the EU project ENV4-CT95-0110 Wood-Assess, and this paper summarises objectives, strategies, work-tasks and some main results from the recently finalised project. Its main objectives have been to develop and validate methods and technologies for proper assessment of the conservation state and for mapping and assessing environmental risk factors and -areas to wooden buildings on macro, local and micro-scale. The systema and methods have been validated by assessing chosen buildings in Germany, Sweden, Norway and Poland. Main work-tasks have been the development of an assessment protocol and a field inspection system, of the WETCORR method for continuous monitoring of temperature and moisture in the micro-environment on and within wood, and of a system for mapping the rotting index for wood on various geographical levels by the use of existing climatic data, standards and the WETCORR measurements. The Assessment Protocol is available in a PC-based geographical information system, and will be further developed towards the market in a EU following-up project.
