Abstract: This article has two major contributions. The first one deals with energy efficiency and pollution issues in buildings. Our solution is to develop, deploy and operate a sensor network for building monitoring. Regarding existing solutions, our network is based on generic and modular sensors that can collect several data such as temperature, carbon monoxide, etc. Subsequently, these data are forwarded to a base station that stores it in a database. By providing a human machine interface, these data can be visualised and processed in real time. The second contribution is related to a feedback from the development of our sensor network. We identified challenges related to this development including significant development time, energy constraints, large-scale network, costs, etc. To overcome these challenges, this article proposes also to explore new development methodology based on a model driven approach that reduces costs and efforts and ensures consistency of the development.
