Claim 0:
1. A remote building component information retrieval system for wirelessly retrieving sensed conditions from multiple remote locations comprising:
a plurality of building components disposed at the multiple remote locations and each including;
an onboard transceiver capable of sending and receiving a wireless signal;
an energy storage device; and
a sensor for sensing a condition at one of the multiple remote locations;

wherein the onboard transceiver, the storage device, and the sensor communicate electrically with each other;
a transceiver located remote from at least one of the multiple remote locations and capable of transmitting a wireless signal to be received by at least one of the onboard transceivers of the plurality of building components;
wherein energy from the received wireless signal is stored in the energy storage device,
wherein the sensor uses a portion of the stored energy from the energy storage device to sense a condition at one of the multiple remote locations, the sensor generates a first signal related to the sensed condition, and the sensor sends the first signal to the onboard transceiver,
wherein the onboard transceiver transmits a second wireless signal related to the sensed condition back to the remote transceiver.
