The results of an environmental assessment made at the Protocol Archive of the Association of Notaries of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, showed the opportunity of taking advantage of using the building´s characteristics to improve preventive conservation of documents. To demonstrate this association, a corre-lation test is performed using 33 study cases, where temperature and relative hu-midity monitoring was performed for a year. Firstly, indicators to assess the per-formance of the wards, called dependent variables are explained; then are calcu-lated for each case these factors: heaviness or mass, attachment, transparency and thermal transmittance weighted, called independent variables. Conclusions show that adding these design variables to the existing recommendations for the design of new conservation spaces, or taking advantage of the natural properties of the envelope, hygrothermal quality might be improved, in addition to the re-duce of energy demand on heating and cooling.
