More specifically, this invention provided a computerized method to facilitate inspecting a residential building.

Abstract: Data on indoor air quality can be obtained using air monitoring stations. Air stations can provide information on odor and chemicals, microscopic airborne particulates, carbon monoxide, relative humidity, temperature and carbon dioxide. This data on indoor air quality, however, does not in itself provide a sufficiently comprehensive picture of indoor air quality. The data can be correlated with an infrared home inspection to facilitate the identification of factors affecting indoor environmental quality in a specific residence. Additionally, data on air quality can be obtained using mold air samples. Additional data on indoor environmental quality can be obtained using a sound pressure level meter to measure sound levels (indoor/outdoor) and temperature changes over time. A report on indoor environmental quality can be provided to a homeowner.
