  - Evaluation of temperature distribution in cold rooms is an importantconsideration in the design of food storage solutions. Two common approaches used inboth industry and academia to address this question are the deployment of wirelesssensors, and modelling with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, for a realworldevaluation of temperature distribution in a cold room, both approaches have theirlimitations. For wireless sensors, it is economically unfeasible to carry out large-scaledeployment (to obtain a high resolution of temperature distribution); while with CFDmodelling, it is usually not accurate enough to get a reliable result. In this paper, wepropose a model-based framework which combines the wireless sensors technique withCFD modelling technique together to achieve a satisfactory trade-off between minimumnumber of wireless sensors and the accuracy of temperature profile in cold rooms. A casestudy is presented to demonstrate the usability of the framework.
