1. A system comprising:

  • a first measuring unit disposed within a building structure, the first measuring unit comprising a first sensor disposed within a cavity of an exterior wall of the building structure and adapted to detect a first parameter, the first measuring unit adapted to output a first signal associated with the first parameter;

    a first processor disposed remotely from the building structure and in operative communication with the first measuring unit, the first processor adapted to receive the first signal and to control the first measuring unit, wherein the first processor is adapted to assess a potential loss of structural integrity of the building structure resulting from exposure of the building structure to an environmental condition related to the first parameter;

    a second processor disposed within the building structure, the second processor disposed in operative communication with the first measuring unit and the first processor; and

    a second measuring unit disposed outside of the building structure and in operative communication with the first processor, the second measuring unit comprising a second sensor adapted to detect a second parameter, the second measuring unit adapted to output a second signal associated with the second parameter, wherein the first processor is adapted to compare the first and second signals.
