MISSION IMPOSSIBLE #1

Von: Nushin Shahri, PARTNER C+P | 11.10.2023

The first mission im/possible event was a full success.

On November 06th, the first MISSION IM/POSSIBLE event took place at the Hofburg Vienna in cooperation between PARTNER C+P and “Bughauptmannschaft Österreich” – a pilot event to activate and promote exchange in the cultural industry around sustainability and energy efficiency.

In this article, we take a look at the highlights of the event, why the topic of sustainability is so important, and how you can download the presentations to benefit from the valuable insights.

Sustainability as a Guiding Principle

Sustainability is not a new concept, but in recent years it has become a key term in the cultural industry.
Cultural institutions play a significant role in society, and their impact on the environment is not to be underestimated. Many museums, galleries, and historical sites have recognised that they bear a responsibility to act sustainably. This means not only protecting cultural treasures but also handling energy, resources, and environmental impacts responsibly.

The preservation of cultural assets requires precise control of temperature, humidity, and light. This, in turn, requires a significant amount of energy. This is where energy efficiency comes into play. Through smart heating and cooling systems, innovative lighting technologies, and the use of renewable energy, cultural institutions can reduce their energy consumption while simultaneously protecting the treasures of our history.

This is precisely what MISSION IM/POSSIBLE focused on.

Best Practice Examples and Expert Insights

During the event, best practice examples from the cultural industry were presented, showing how sustainability and energy efficiency can be successfully implemented. From mold removal in historical collections to CO2 accounting for cultural institutions, there was a wealth of valuable insights and strategies.

Our special guest speaker, Robert Lambe, provided insights into the international practice of sustainability in cultural institutions. His expertise and the projects presented inspired and encouraged us to drive sustainable design forward.
