Regarding to greenhouse gases emission or supplying cost, energy consumption in buildings is nowadays a problem. So, an appropriate energy management in buildings is mandatory for enhancing energy savings and promoting renewable energy resources. Thus, the present paper focuses on presenting a lab-scale prototype for (i) on-line monitoring energy consumption, (ii) on-line computing a global energy indicator and (iii) estimating the renewable energy potential of a location. These three points define an energy diagnosis based on energy consumption segmentation. The main goal of developing a labscale prototype is testing some usable tools for achieving an energy management in buildings by means of the above-mentioned energy diagnosis. The lab-scale prototype is composed of a building mock-up, a monitoring system and a data posttreatment software. The monitoring system is being developed, in collaboration with industrial partners, APEX-BP SOLAR, Pyrescom and the "Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment" (CSTB), for measuring and recording both mock-up temperatures and energy consumption. In addition, this monitoring system records also outdoor parameters, such as solar radiation and wind speed, for estimating the real renewable energy potential of the location. This paper presents, first, the energetic situation in France and the related documentation, and, secondly, a detailed presentation of the lab-scale prototype. A conclusion ends the paper.
