Energy study

 

Following the CHARM approach, we are developing digital technology to facilitate the capture and web-based feedback of household energy consumption data. The study includes approximately 300 households in a UK city. Over 18 weeks, the research will compare the energy consumption of three groups of households: households that receive no feedback, households that receive feedback only about their own energy consumption, and households that receive feedback about their own energy consumption and that of the other households in the study.

 

Research data will include energy consumption data, base line and post intervention questionnaires, longitudinal ethnographic interviews and focus groups.
