The Woodsense sensor is not only designed for moisture monitoring of construction sites- but can also be used to measure moisture in existing buildings - it opens up a great opportunity to extend the life of buildings worthy of preservation.
This centuries-old holiday home on Fanø carries an already fantastic life. The family has owned it since Johan Rohde (painter and furniture and silverware designer) acquired it after World War I and used the high living room (Malerstuen) as a studio. The house was occupied by the Germans during World War II, who fired up the Painting Room, which for many years meant that the ceiling was black due to the soot.
The house is protected and worthy of preservation. The roof is thatched roof and carried by a wooden rafter. The family wants to take good care of the house, and has therefore set up sensors in the wooden ceiling construction so that they have the opportunity to follow the ceiling and the roof stand as well as get an alarm in case of risk of water damage.
As soon as the sensors were being placed, one of the sensors showed an alarmingly high level of wood humidity in one of the load-bearing beams and the need for an overhaul!
