This study is a part of a concrete sustainable development project introduced at university. A small scale genuine materials house (1/20 scale) with its green energy sources and electronic circuits management have been designed for educational and research purpose [1]. Thanks to a modular design and optional accessories, many thermal and electronic measurements and modelling are possible, like in a real house. A SPICE equivalent thermal behaviour modelling is proposed. Once validated, a case of study for a three floor small scale building is presented. Power consumption and insulation efficiency are analyzed. Main tendencies are checked after comparison with a real multi floor building. Results are finally discussed.
