Abstract: We propose the use of embedded in-wall thermoelectric harvesters to power nodes of a wireless sensor network. We exploit the significant temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environments in cold climates. We use heat flow measurements of the exterior (outside-facing) wall of a number of apartments from the same apartment complex. We report on the degree of variability as well as on the seasonal changes that characterize the heat flow, and hence the potential for thermoelectric energy harvesting. We also examine whether the difference between indoor and outdoor air temperature is a good proxy for to the observed heat flow through the walls. Examples of data carrying capability of a particular harvester and sensor node combination are also provided.
