发明名称 Method and apparatus for detecting conditions favorable for growth of fungus
摘要 A system for conditions favorable for the growth of fungus in a building or vehicle is described. One or more humidity sensors are places in areas, such as under sinks, in an attic spaces, etc. to detect excess humidity (due to leaks, condensation, etc.). In one embodiment, a monitoring computer compares humidity measurements taken from different sensor units in order to detect areas that have excess humidity. Thus for example, the monitoring computer can compare the humidity readings from a first sensor unit in a first attic area, to a humidity reading from a second sensor unit in a second area. For example, the monitoring computer can take humidity readings from a number of attic areas to establish a baseline humidity reading and then compare the specific humidity readings from various sensor units to determine if one or more of the units are measuring excess humidity. The monitoring computer flags areas of excess humidity for further investigation by maintenance personnel. In one embodiment, the monitoring computer maintains a history of humidity readings for various sensor units and flags areas that show an unexpected increase in humidity for investigation by maintenance personnel.
