The “Shared Practice” meetings provide an opportunity for you to talk with your colleagues and peers about the many common topics associated with managing a cultural facility. You can discuss what is working/not, ask any questions about an issue you are facing, share your lessons learned with others, and otherwise network and learn from each other.
Some meetings have a presentation, others are open discussion. The meetings are open to all folks working on cultural facility management and projects. Your participation is a valuable to the overall group. If you have not attended one of these before, read about Shared Practice meetings.

This month’s meeting is on Min/Max: Exploring the Relationship Between Energy and T/RH Parameters, led by Mischa Egolf, Senior Technical Associate, New Building Institute.
This session will provide insight into a national research project exploring the practice of broadened Temperature and Relative Humidity (T/RH) parameters in museums beyond the common practice of 70°F/50% RH. We will share the approach and preliminary findings based on site visits, focusing on how this work relates to energy management.
Time permitting, we will also discuss any other questions you may have for the group.
Please take the short pre-meeting survey on your temperature and humidity control settings. It will only take a couple minutes and provides a good starting point for our discussion. Upon completion of the survey, you will return to this page to register and will also receive a copy of the survey results.
