It seems like this could use some testing. How do we know that this really works even in one home? There should be some sensors and metrics to show how well variations work so that the design can be robustly optimized.
- georgeoliver 5y agoGood point, it seems from my perspective the industry is focused on blower-door tests and air exchange, where it's then kind of assumed that "you're done". I don't think there's real incentive at this point for residential building intelligence. We might have to wait for the 2nd (3rd?) wave of smart home tech to make it happen.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoFine Homebuilding ran several articles about installing long-term sensors inside walls in various places around a house that could potentially be troublesome. This was a year or so ago. These sensors (humidity, moisture, temperature, etc.) continuously reported their measurements to some sort of service the homeowner and builder could keep an eye on for any irregularities. The sensors were pretty low cost, if I recall; a few hundred dollars altogether. But its definitely not a common practice.
