The moving fluctuation range - a new analytical method for evaluation of climate fluctuations in historic buildings

A novel analytical method, the 'moving fluctuation range,' offers improved evaluation of indoor climate fluctuations in historic buildings. This approach uses a moving average to analyze short-term variations in relative humidity and temperature, providing more precise insights than traditional equidistant daily cycles. Applied to unheated structures like Schachen King's House, Linderhof Palace, and St. Margaretha Church, the method enhances understanding of indoor environments and aids in assessing climate impacts on valuable furnishings and artworks. It also holds potential for integration into building simulation tools, offering a more accurate assessment of indoor conditions for collections.
