1. A method of detecting environmental conditions conducive to mold growth within a cavity of a building comprising:

  • sensing a relative humidity value;

    repeating the sensing of a relative humidity value from time to time;

    creating a historical data set by storing the relative humidity values from at least two sequential iterations of the sensing activity;

    analyzing the historical data set to determine a severity level based upon when at least one predetermined humidity threshold is exceeded; and

    notifying a user of the severity level.
