  2. Research Background • Projections of the 2050 housing stock show two thirds are existing dwellings (ECI, 2005) • Average house has Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) grade of E (DECC, 2012) • The Government launched the Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) to help target properties needing energy efficiency measures Environmental Change Institute (ECI), Boardman, B., Darby, S., Killip, G., Hinnells, M., Jardine, C., Palmer, S., Sinden, G., et al., 2005, 40% House, University of Oxford Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), 2012, Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) 2012 – Chapter 1 Energy Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Energy Consumption in the United Kingdom

  3. PhD Aim and Objectives To compare the evolution of householders’ space heating behaviour resulting from installation of different control technologies and how these new controls affects energy demand within households

  4. Data collection • Gas consumption • Electricity consumption • Indoor temperature in all rooms • Outdoor temperature • Thermostat set-points • House measurements • SAP assessment Energy diaries Whole house activity Initial interview before installation Questionnaire Second interview when controls changed Final interview
