The MOXY mission represents an advanced technological and green innovation, which aims to empower cultural heritage professionals to preserve works of art for the future in a green and sustainable way. MOXY is venturing into new territory with roots in NASA research, bridging the gap between physics, engineering, aerospace, cultural heritage, and sustainability science, in pursuit of a breakthrough technology to conserve otherwise untreatable materials and preserve works of art for the future in a sustainable and green way.
This guide is intended to clarify the decision-making process regarding the degree of improvement in fire resistance of historic doors, and what could be done to satisfy all points of view, including enforcement authorities.
This guide provides knowledge on simple, basic, low-cost actions that can be taken to protect historic buildings from fire.
The document provides information about the selection of vulnerability indicators in order to determine the fire risk index of various types of real estate. The aim is to evaluate the fire safety of immovable cultural heritage in urban and rural contexts.
This document reflects good practices and lessons learned from Japan to support international practitioners in the fields of disaster risk management (DRM), CH, and public policy, who are seeking to enhance the disaster resilience of CH and communities in their countries.
This chapter covers museum fire planning and protection for collections and structures and spaces housing collections.
This publication addresses fire prevention in historic buildings through recommendations concerning the use and maintenance of facilities.
The final objective of this guide is for the people in charge of these facilities to acquire general knowledge about the main risks present in these buildings, so that they become aware and sensitized to:
- Establish basic prevention guidelines that reduce the probability of an accident occurring.
- Plan action procedures that, to the extent possible, guarantee both the safety of people and the property of buildings of heritage interest
- Know how to act and who to go to if the incident occurs.
This guide offers recommendations for reducing the risk of arson and safeguarding immovable cultural heritage, based on the identification of threats and subsequent measures to save the building and its contents.
This guide is intended for churches with congregations of up to 300 people, to help them decide whether fire safety upgrades are needed to protect them, and what improvements can be made to give the building greater protection.
