Passive Climate Controlled Repositories. Storage Facilities for Museum, Archive and Library Purposes.
Christoffersen, Lars D. Zephyr.
1995 – Copenhagen: National Museum of Denmark Conservation Department.
This publication is a result of a research project on passive climate control for museums, archives and libraries. The concept of passive climate control has developed through the study of historic buildings where the structure alone is enough to create a positive archival climate. One way of achieving passive climate control in modern buildings is by focusing on building insulating structures that emulate the historic structures and by using the proper materials. The publication covers several complicated mathematic formulas developed to predict the variation in temperature and relative humidity throughout the year. This can be used to determine the effect changes in certain parameters will have on the indoor climate. (provided by Bruno P. Pouliot)

Building Pathology: Deterioration, Diagnostics and Intervention.
Harris, S.Y.
2001 – New York: John Wiley.
This is an excellent textbook on building pathology, which summarizes the long experience of the author, both as a practitioner and as a teacher. It is addressed to the practitioner as a reference, to the non-practitioner as a primer, and to the student as a basic text. (provided by Bruno P. Pouliot)
