These could build trust and aid decision-making based on future projections, which are inherently uncertain.Īn assessment of heritage deterioration often needs to incorporate dose or damage functions and may be achieved by assessing occurrences and accumulation of environmental parameters. Evidence-based narratives provide a tool to incorporate a multiplicity of local information to enrich projections and the interpretation of the model output. This translation is explored over a range of sites facing different climate pressures, including fungal and insect risk at Harmondsworth Great Barn, England changes in humidity range, salt risk and algal growth in rural timber buildings in the Midwestern states, USA wind-driven rain impacts on board houses in Freetown, Sierra Leone and rainfall and humidity range on timber buildings among the tropical rainforests of the Amazon, Congo Basin and Southeast Asia. Translation to a local level can be challenging and requires the use of local information from a range of sources. Global climate models often provide projections through to the end of the 21st century but need to be translated to a local level to reveal processes of deterioration at specific sites.

Simple meteorological descriptions of climate need to be tuned to capture drivers that threaten heritage, including dimensional change, insect attack and mould growth.
Timber heritage sites are vulnerable to damage from moisture.
