Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A roof monitoring system includes sensors configured to be distributed across a roof a building. The monitoring system also includes a controller configured to receive sensor feedback from the sensors, where the sensor feedback is indicative of a roof temperature, a first characteristic of light reflected off the roof, a second characteristic of light passing through the roof, a third characteristic of sound associated with the roof, and/or a moisture content on the roof. The controller is also configured to compare the sensor feedback with an expected feedback. The controller is also configured to detect, in response to determining that the sensor feedback deviates from the expected feedback, a roof defect. The controller is also configured to diagnose a cause of the roof defect.
