1. A method of controlling signal transmission in a building control system, the method comprising:
measuring a plurality of signal values associated with an environmental variable using a sensor of a wireless measurement device;
dynamically determining, by the wireless measurement device, a noise threshold based on the plurality of signal values;
combining a first signal value and a second signal value of the plurality of signal values using a mathematical relationship to determine a result associated with the first signal value and the second signal value; and
periodically transmitting the first signal value from the wireless measurement device to a controller in response to the result exceeding the noise threshold;
wherein the environmental variable is related to air in a building.
