We evaluate the changes to domestic electricity and gas consumption when the occupants have local access to a coloured real time in-home display (IHD). We report the preliminary six months findings of a three year research project involving 52 new bu... Read More about Visualising Energy Use for Smart Homes and Informed Users.

Smart energy monitoring technology to reduce domestic electricity and gas consumption through behaviour change (2015)
Thesis
Stinson, J. W. Smart energy monitoring technology to reduce domestic electricity and gas consumption through behaviour change. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9828

If the UK is to address its energy reduction targets, it is vital to understand energy use behaviours and to devise technology that positively encourages domestic occupants to use less energy. This study is cross-over research that spans energy resea... Read More about Smart energy monitoring technology to reduce domestic electricity and gas consumption through behaviour change.
