Year-long monitoring examines energy use in a composite-climate home, suggesting improved comfort and efficiency.

The aim is to develop a workflow for analyzing energy use and comfort in homes using multi-sensor data.
Monitored nine appliances over a year with 5-minute resolution.
Integrated electricity use, indoor temperature-humidity, and outdoor weather data.
Developed a reproducible pipeline for data processing and analytics preparation.
Identified energy consumption of 845.25 kWh, 58% of total use from monitored appliances.
Dominant appliances were refrigerator (21.95%) and air conditioner (19.07%).
Defined mixed-mode operation with specific hours for cooling and heating modes.

Chilana et al. (2026) studied this question.
