Moisture, humidity and temperature in wooden structure of the Czech national pavilion at the EXPO 2025 world exhibition
will be continuously monitored by SENZOMATIC sensors developed by scientists from CTU UCEEB. This technology, operated by
MoistureGuard, currently protects more than 1,000 wooden structures from the risks associated with moisture, ranging from
family homes to commercial and residential buildings, hotels, schools, industrial complexes, and heritage-listed historical
buildings.
Long-term exposure to moisture can damage the structure of wooden buildings and contribute to the growth of mold and wood-destroying
fungi. This problem is usually invisible to building owners until it results in costly repairs. "Our advanced sensors and
subsequent data processing enable continuous monitoring of the moisture parameters of sustainable building materials. This
helps to detect any potential problem manner and ensure optimal conditions for long-term wood quality," said Jan Včelák,
head of the Electronic Systems and Diagnostics research team at CTU UCEEB.
The use of monitoring and data analysis will also help to better manage and protect the Czech national pavilion, which was
designed specifically for the climatic conditions prevailing in Osaka, Japan. "Sensors are an integral part of the pavilion's
equipment, and moisture measurement is one of our priorities. Sufficient data will help us keep the building, which is constructed
from CLT panels, in good condition and prevent complications during the world exhibition. Monitoring will also enable further
use of the structure after the event ends in mid-October," said Ondřej Soška, General Commissioner of the Czech participation
at Expo 2025.
