The sensor network consists of a variety of 179 sensors deployed in building common areas and in apartments to monitor energy consumption, indoor environmental quality, and local meteorological conditions. The collected data are used and analyzed to assess the building performance in terms of energy consumption and indoor environmental quality following major renovation operations on the buildings. Observations from the collected data show energy consumption of the renovated buildings in agreement with expected energy savings calculated by an engineering office, many different occupancy patterns mainly related to the professional situation of the households, and seasonal variation in window opening rates. The monitoring was also able to detect some deficiencies in the energy management. Indeed, the data reveal the absence of time-of-day-dependent heating load control and higher than expected indoor temperatures because of a lack of occupant awareness on energy savings, thermal comfort, and the new technologies installed during the renovation such as thermostatic valves on the heaters. Lastly, we also provide feedback on the performed sensor network from the experiment design and choice of measured quantities to data communication, through the sensors\u2019 technological choices, implementation, calibration, and maintenance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23125580","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,15]],"date-time":"2023-06-15T02:28:56Z","timestamp":1686796136000},"page":"5580","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["A Wireless Sensor Network for Residential Building Energy and Indoor Environmental Quality Monitoring: Design, Instrumentation, Data Analysis and Feedback"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Mathieu","family":"Bourdeau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, CNRS, ESYCOM, F-77454 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julien","family":"Waeytens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, COSYS, F-77420 Champs-sur-Marne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2358-7129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nedia","family":"Aouani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, CNRS, ESYCOM, F-77454 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Basset","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, CNRS, ESYCOM, F-77454 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elyes","family":"Nefzaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, CNRS, ESYCOM, F-77454 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Reiter, S.
