Residential electricity and gas demand in Great Britain
Understanding household energy demand patterns is essential for effective energy system planning and policy design. This study identifies household electricity and gas ‘demand archetypes’ which capture the typical summer and winter weekday demand profiles for each home. We apply logistic regression with household survey data to identify correlations with those archetypes. Our study uses half-hourly smart meter data from the Smart Energy Research …
Tracking energy signatures of British homes from 2020 to 2025
The power temperature gradient (PTG) method for deriving an energy signature (a set of parameters that describe the in-use energy performance of a building) is applied to a large smart meter dataset. The resulting parameters are shown for British homes (n = 3899) over a five-year period. Although these parameters are strongly influenced by the buildings’ physical properties, variation in occupant behaviour in buildings that have not been physical…
Survey study on energy use in UK homes during Covid-19
To contain the spread of Covid-19, governments across the world imposed partial or complete lockdowns. National energy demand decreased in periods of lockdowns; however, as people spent more time at home, residential energy use likely increased. This paper reports the results of a UK survey study ( N = 1016 participants) about their energy-use practices during the first lockdown in March 2020. The results indicated that self-reported heating beha…
