Abstract

A building analysis (“BA”) system for detecting events of a building includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a building, a memory device including an optimal profile of an infrastructure, and a building analysis (“BA”) server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The infrastructure is at least one of (i) a fixture associated with the building and (ii) at least one person located within the building. The BA system includes one or more processors in communication with the memory that are programmed to: (i) receive sensor data related to the infrastructure, (ii) compare the sensor data to the optimal profile to detect an event, (iii) determine a recommended action based upon the detected event, (iv) execute the recommended action to mitigate at least one of damage caused by the detected event to the building and injury caused by the detected event to the at least one person.
