Abstract
Several aspects of case performance can be improved by refitting; security, lighting, relative humidity buffering, silver tarnish rate or pollution driven corrosion. Retrofitting methods need to be selected carefully. The interplay of factors can be complex in showcases and the effect of any changes needs to be monitored. Several case studies are presented demonstrating different approaches and their success assessed through monitoring environmental parameters.
