information on understanding mechanical system functions,
responsible energy-saving strategies, and guidelines for managing
changes in environmental settings without reducing preservation
quality.  Each participants will receive a copy of IPI's Guide to
Sustainable Preservation Practices for Managing Storage
Environments.

Series III webinars have been scheduled between February and October
2015.  Topics, dates, and registration information is now available

Earlier webinar presentations are designed for individuals who are
new to the subject covered or need a refresher course.  Later
presentations are for individuals with more extensive knowledge and
those more deeply involved with environmental analysis and
management of HVAC systems.  There are no registration fees for the
webinars.

We encourage collections care and facilities staff in cultural
institutions to attend and learn together to define and achieve an
optimal preservation environment-one that combines the best possible
preservation of collections with the least possible consumption of
energy, and is sustainable over time.  Over 2,000 individuals
participated in the last two series, and 99.5% rated the
presentations clear, useful, well organized, and relevant.
