Good 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.

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.
