In this context, the identification of the factors that influence the thermo-hygrometric equilibrium is key to determine the causes of cultural heritage deterioration. In this work, a characterization of the thermo-hygrometric conditions of Casa di Diana (Ostia Antica, Italy) is carried out analyzing the data of temperature and relative humidity recorded by a system of sensors with high monitoring frequency. Sensors are installed in parallel, calibrated and synchronized with a microcontroller. A data set of 793,620 data, arranged in a matrix with 66,135 rows and 12 columns, was used. Furthermore, the influence of human impact (visitors) is evaluated through a multiple linear regression model and a logistic regression model. The visitors do not affect the environmental humidity as it is very high and constant all the year. The results show a significant influence of the visitors in the upset of the thermal balance. When a tourist guide takes place, the probability that the hourly temperature variation reaches values higher than its monthly average is 10.64 times higher than it remains equal or less to its monthly average. The analysis of the regression residuals shows the influence of outdoor climatic variables in the thermal balance, such as solar radiation or ventilation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18020348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,25]],"date-time":"2018-01-25T12:25:49Z","timestamp":1516883149000},"page":"348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["High Frequency Data Acquisition System for Modelling the Impact of Visitors on the Thermo-Hygrometric Conditions of Archaeological Sites: A Casa di Diana (Ostia Antica, Italy) Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Paloma","family":"Merello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Accounting, University of Valencia, Av. de los Naranjos s\/n, 46071 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7062-245X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando-Juan","family":"Garc\u00eda-Diego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Av. de los Naranjos s\/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Beltr\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Av. de los Naranjos s\/n, 46022 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Scatigno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanoscience &amp; Nanotechnology &amp; Innovative Instrumentation (NAST Centre), University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, Via della Ricerca Scientifica 1, 00133 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Camuffo, D.
