Summary on Grant Application Form |
We propose a programme of research leading to the establishment of a
new methodology for surveying household energy use nationally, to
complement existing methods (e.g., the English Housing Survey
and regional equivalents), which leverages the rollout of Smart Meters
to achieve cost-effective, detailed understanding of energy use
behaviours. The key enablers of this new methodology are: 1) the
Smart Meters themselves, 2) advances in semi-supervised disaggregation
methods which can infer the behaviours that result in energy use, and
3) other wireless sensors placed in some households to bootstrap the
disaggregation methods. The output will be twofold: a validated
scalable novel survey method suitable for national rollout, providing
significant additional data on energy consumption in UK homes; and 2)
an assessment of which variables can be effectively surveyed with this
method.
