What is conservation heating and how can it help conservation

Conservation heating is a special method used primarily in historic buildings, museums, galleries and archives to protect sensitive architecture, artifacts and artworks. Instead of heating a space for human comfort, it uses heaters controlled by a humidistat to maintain a stable, safe level of relative humidity. In the latest range of controllers special strategies have been incorporated following consultation with Oxford Conservation consortium and The National Trust.

Our solution the PRO0524 Conservation+ controller is designed with over temperature and low RH interventions as well as comfort heating by timer and hours run meter to calculate energy used, it will control either one 2kW electrical heater directly or two using the PRO0524/S extension module and can also send a signal to a building management system or take the place of a room thermostat.
