Absolute or Relative : What do we need to know about moisture levels in historic building conservation?

Abstract

While much of the research into moisture and buildings is about absolute values, in building conservation projects, relative values are both of more use and practical to obtain. This paper examines why this is the case and how low precision measurements can be usefully employed in conservation diagnostics and control. Peer-review under the responsibility of the organizing committee of the ICMB21.
