Join the AIC Sustainability Committee on October 14, 2026 at 12:00 pm EDT as Laura Lupton, founder of Field Forms, discusses the opportunities exhibitions offer for piloting dynamic environmental control following the BIZOT green protocol. The climate crisis is upon us, and cultural organizations bear a responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The 2023 Bizot green protocol refresh calls for cultural organizations to rethink exhibition and loan practices to reduce GHG emissions. As cultural heritage organizations consider adopting the BIZOT green protocol, exhibitions offer opportunities to pilot updated conditions by thoughtfully strategizing checklists and loan agreements. Lupton has worked with several museums to successfully plan exhibitions that allow for wider temperature and relative humidity set points that are more energy efficient, both saving money and reducing emissions.
