1. A system to diagnose and/or monitor energy efficiency of a building, the system comprising:

  • a. a first sensor module including a first temperature sensor, wherein the first sensor module is arranged to sense temperature outside of the building, the first sensor module including a data storage component for storing therein temperature information acquired by the first temperature sensor, and a communication interface;

    b. a second sensor module including a second temperature sensor, wherein the second sensor module is arranged to sense temperature inside of the building, the second sensor module including a data storage component for storing therein temperature information acquired by the second temperature sensor, and a communication interface; and

    c. a computing device configured to receive temperature information from the first sensor module and the second sensor module and to calculate;

    i. a Cooling Rate of the building by calculating a difference between the temperature information from the second temperature sensor at a first time and at a second time divided by a time period defined by a difference between the first time and the second time; and

    ii. an Effective Heating Rate of the building by calculating a difference between the temperature information from the second temperature sensor at a second time and at a third time divided by a time period difference between the second time and the third time.
