SIMIACCI
Sustainable Intelligent Management of Indoor Air Quality for the Culture and Creative Industries
Climate transition is imposed to all sectors of the EU economy, including CCI, especially through more efficient use of resources. Amongst CCIs, Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) require large quantities of energy for controlling Volatile Organic Compounds, Nitrogen Oxides, Hydrogen Sulfide and humidity for cultural heritage (CH) artifacts conservation due to the absence of smart and efficient Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) control technologies.
SIMIACCI improves traditional IAQ solutions, such as cultural heritage storage/showcases conditioning, heating ventilation, and air conditioning, by developing a portfolio of innovative solutions reducing related energy demand and extent CH conservation time. The project will demonstrate: Metal Organic Framework (MOFs) adsorbents to efficiently capture noxious Volatile Organic Compounds, MOFs to mitigate Nitrogen Oxides in real scenarios, MOFs to capture Hydrogen Sulfide, predictive modelling to forecast contaminants concentrations evolution coupled with monitoring sensors and conservation/maintenance recommendations, modular designs that fulfil the technical and environmental requirements of controlling IAQ and new business models for the solutions portfolio that integrate the developed pillars, supported by market analysis and economic, environmental and social sustainability analysis.
By demonstrating first-of-a-kind energy- and resource-efficient solutions for strict IAQ management, CCI will inspire climate transition of 5 new sectors where transferability potential will be assessed and disseminated, including through the creation of the SIMIACCI label. Dedicated exhibitions, reaching 30,000 visitors, will consolidate GLAMs leadership for climate transition.
