Abstract:
1. A method comprising: detecting by a first sensor disposed in a cavity of an exterior wall of a building structure a first parameter of air within the cavity prognostic of a potential loss of integrity of the building structure; generating by a first measuring unit a first signal associated with the first parameter, the first sensor disposed in operative communication with the first measuring unit; communicating the first signal to a remote processor, wherein the remote processor is disposed remotely from the building structure, and wherein the remote processor is configured to be in operative communication with the first measuring unit; recording a first value in a database, the first value associated with the first parameter; updating the database with a second value associated with the first parameter; and assessing, via the remote processor, the potential loss of integrity of the building structure based at least in part on the first signal and the first and second values associated with the first parameter, wherein the potential loss of integrity of the building structure results from exposure of the building structure to an environmental condition related to the first parameter.
