Abstract
A method for obtaining the average ambient air pressure outside of a building places a pressure sensor on each major outside wall of the building or around the outer circumference of a one sided (e.g., round) building. The pressure reading from each pressure sensor is obtained and the pressure readings are added together to obtain a total reading. The total reading is divided by the number of pressure readings making up the total, the result being the approximate average ambient air pressure outside of the building.
Claims14
A method for sensing pressure at the outside skin of a building, the building having a plurality of outer walls, the method comprising the steps of:
- attaching a first dynamic pressure sensor to each of the plurality of outer walls, each first dynamic pressure sensor capable of giving a first dynamic pressure reading;
- collecting the first dynamic pressure reading from each of the first dynamic pressure sensors;
- adding each of the first dynamic pressure readings together to obtain a first total;
- and
- dividing the first total by the number of first dynamic pressure readings.
A method for sensing pressure at the outside skin of a building, the building having a plurality of outer walls, the method comprising the steps of;
- attaching a plurality of first dynamic pressure senors to each of the plurality of outer walls in spaced apart relation, each of the plurality of first dynamic pressure sensors capable of giving a first dynamic pressure reading;
- collecting the first dynamic pressure reading from each of the plurality of first dynamic pressure sensors;
- adding each of the first dynamic pressure readings together to obtain a first total;
- and
- dividing the first total by the number of first dynamic pressure readings.
