“As museums seek to improve their record on sustainability, conservators worldwide are grappling with reevaluating environmental control guidelines and other elements of the exhibit and storage environment.

The complexities involved in building or renovating a museum, combined with undertaking a sustainable design certification effort, can be daunting for someone unfamiliar with the process. To ensure that preservation concerns are integrated into the design, conservators must both understand the process and be an effective part of it.”
