Abstract New insulating materials, for which measurements of thermal parameters are required in the laboratory, often use reused or renewable resources. The effects of the aging of these materials are unknown but can only be estimated. In order to obtain information on the evolution of thermal properties over time, the authors propose the incorporation of a set of temperature sensors in the structure of the insulating panels. The large number of sensors does not have to complicate the process on the site, so it has been chosen for a sensor type that allows multiple sensors to be connected and communicate on a single wire. Specific problems with programming, identifying sensors with positioning in the profile of the insulation are presented, following issues that might be important for widespread deployment.
