Preserving Artworks and Enhancing Visitor Experience Through Precise Environmental Control
Cultural institutions, such as museums and galleries, house invaluable artifacts that are susceptible to degradation from environmental factors. Maintaining optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial to prevent damage to these treasures and to ensure a comfortable experience for visitors
Why It Matters
The EmAIRging value proposition
Deploy our ENSENSIA / ENSENSIA mini sensors and outdoor air monitoring nodes across intersections, residential zones, parks, transit hubs and industrial perimeters. Couple with mobile platforms on municipal vehicles to map dynamic flows.
Our cloud platform aggregates regional and hyper-local data streams, benchmarks them against urban/WHO/EN targets, and identifies hotspots—traffic-driven NO₂ peaks, particulate bursts near construction, or pollutant inflows from neighboring regions
Real-time alerts and strategic monthly briefs allow city managers to trigger interventions: low-emission traffic zones, dynamic ventilation of public spaces, green infrastructure deployment, public health warnings and open-data dashboards. Integration with city IoT, mobility and building systems helps automate response
Our process in action
Monitor
Deploy ENSENSIA or ENSENSIA Mini in exhibition halls, storage areas, galleries, and visitor zones. Optional outdoor sensors assess external pollution risks. For baseline assessments or specific investigations, consider our Portable Lab.
Interpret
Our platform aggregates all environmental signals, benchmarks against preservation standards, and identifies root causes—such as elevated CO₂ levels from visitor traffic, episodic PM peaks from nearby construction, VOCs emitted during maintenance, or humidity excursions from HVAC system fluctuations.
Act
Receive real-time alerts and monthly decision memos to guide interventions: adjust HVAC schedules, upgrade filtration systems, reposition air purifiers, refine cleaning protocols, and optimize space utilization. Integrate via API with your Building Management System (BMS) to automate Demand-Controlled Ventilation (DCV).
What You Achieve
Enhanced Artifact Preservation
- By maintaining optimal indoor air quality, EmAIRging’s solutions help prevent the degradation of sensitive materials such as paper, textiles, and metals, thereby extending the lifespan of valuable collections.
Improved Visitor Experience
- Ensuring a comfortable and healthy environment enhances visitor satisfaction, potentially increasing attendance and fostering a positive reputation for the institution.
Operational Efficiency
- Automated monitoring and reporting streamline compliance processes, reducing manual effort and allowing staff to focus on core activities.

Proof Points & Guardrails
Scientific Research
Studies have shown that indoor air quality significantly impacts the preservation of cultural artifacts. For example, research indicates that pollutants like ozone and VOCs can cause chemical reactions that degrade materials over time. Also, Exposure of a painting to moderate outdoor air pollution can cause noticeable visual deterioration within just five months, and certainly in less than a year.
Industry Standards
Organizations such as the National Park Service and the Canadian Conservation Institute have established guidelines for IAQ in cultural institutions, emphasizing the importance of controlling pollutants to protect collections
Case Studies
Institutions like the Museum of Byzantine Culture have implemented advanced environmental control systems to maintain optimal conditions for their collections. These measures have proven effective in preserving artifacts and enhancing visitor experiences
