ABSTRACT:The paper outlines basic concepts of the system for indoor climate monitoring being currently developed in a four-year project. The project concentrates on building system of sensors, the related infrastructure for communication between these sensors and the server for centralized data storage and processing. The components of the planned system are highly modular for adjustment to specific requirements of given collection. The project's aim is to provide basis for remote monitoring of indoor climate and environment of exhibitions and depositories of museums, galleries, archives, etc. situated in historical buildings like castles, chateaus, town halls, where the protection of the building limits measures for indoor climate optimization. Finally the expected outcomes envisage the development of specialized sensors mainly for pest control and development of portable version of data sensing units for supervision of environmental parameters of collection during transport.

ABSTRACT:The main aim of project nearing completion was to develop a modular and scalable system of sensors for monitoring of internal environment of museum exhibitions and depositories. The sensors vary according to parameters being monitored and at the same time also according to required energy autonomy, processing capability and bandwidth requirements. Sensors developed can be divided into three groups: environmental sensors, biosensors and sensors of vibrations. Data acquired by the sensors are archived and stored in open format. Metadata stored alongside true numerical data from measurement, represent assurance of future computer readability in data mining application. Long continuous series of data can provide sufficient data for acquisition of dose-response function.
