Abstract
For several years, we have seen a significative increase of building-operation data acquisition solutions that have their own particularity or their own specificities. The implementation of most of them represents a significant cost in the overall balance sheet of energy diagnostic study and heavily impact their Return On Investment. Setting up and data analysis are also complex and requires a expertise and time which further increases the outgoings. Because of this waste of time and money, a part of french companies do not engage in a reduction of energy consumption policy. The goal of this paper is to present a new solution in datalogger measurement network with low-costness, automation, ergonomics and polyvalence as main specifications. The preindustrial prototype is built and under tests on five different experimental sites with 5 criteria: energy battery life, implementation practicility, upload data capacity, network coverage and environmental impact.
