Climate Impact on Built Heritage (CLIMPACTH). (CLIMPACTH)

CLIMPACTH has the ambition to study the impact of climate change on built heritage and to produce guidelines for restoration and renovation practice. The consortium is composed of KIK-IRPA (Monuments Lab), RMI (Modelling), UAntwerpen (ARCHES, Visionlab) and UGent (Atmospheric Physics, Building Physics, PProGRess). A climate impact atlas will be developed to define the risks of climate change on built heritage envelopes, by optimizing climate data and projections for the built environment, characterisation of materials in built heritage envelopes for hygrothermal modelling, and using hygrothermal modelling for evaluating degradation phenomena.
