1. An arrangement comprising:
- a plurality of wireless microsystems, each microsystem operable to measure at least relative humidity and temperature, and to communicate temperature and relative humidity information indicative of the measured relative humidity and temperature wirelessly to a network device, the network device operable to communicate the temperature and relative humidity information to at least a first processor configured to;
a) obtain a comfort level value based on the measurements of relative humidity and temperature,b) determine if the comfort level value is within a first predefined range,c) cause a first change in at least one building control parameter if the comfort level is outside the first predefined range,d) determine if the comfort level value is within a second range, ande) cause a second change in the at least one building control parameter if the comfort level is within the second range and within the first predefined range.

Abstract
An arrangement includes a plurality of wireless microsystems. Each microsystem is operable to measure at least relative humidity and temperature, and to communicate temperature and relative humidity information wirelessly to a network device. The network device is operable to communicate the temperature and relative humidity information to at least a first processor configured to cause a change in a building control condition based on the information.

8. An arrangement comprising:
-
a plurality of wireless microsystems, each microsystem operable to measure at least relative humidity and temperature, to generate a combined temperature and relative humidity index, and to transmit the index wirelessly; a wireless device operably configured to receive the transmitted index from at least one microsystem and to provide as an output information corresponding to the received index; a controller operably coupled to receive the information corresponding to the index from the wireless device, the controller operable to; (a) determine if the information corresponding to the index is within a first predefined range, (b) cause a first change in at least one building control parameter if the information corresponding to the index is outside the first predefined range, (c) determine if the information corresponding to the index is within a second range, and (d) cause a second change in the at least one building control parameter if the information corresponding to the index is within the second range and within the first predefined range. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
