Abstract:
1. A method of a corrosion management system for managing corrosion of a piece of equipment disposed in a building, the method comprising the steps of: receiving first data relating corrosion rate to a plurality of environmental conditions; determining, by at least one hardware processor of the corrosion management system, a quantitative relationship between corrosion rate and the plurality of environmental conditions from the first data; receiving, from one or more corrosion sensors of the corrosion management system, second data indicative of one or more environmental conditions within the building; determining, by the at least one hardware processor of the corrosion management system, a corrosion rate affecting the piece of equipment disposed in the building at least in part by applying the determined quantitative relationship to the second data; and modifying an aspect of an environmental control system of the building at least in part in response to the determined corrosion rate, wherein the environmental control system receives, directly, an input generated by the corrosion management system and regulates the environmental conditions within the building using the input.
