THE PROJECT
• To monitor gas and electricity consumption, temperature, CO2 and Humidity levels• To understand how tenants use energy• Develop a methodology to identify the most
suitable interventions.• Test technology to prove its effectiveness.• Compare house archetypes alongside user groups• To make energy consumption affordable

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
• 160 properties selected• Represents 22 property types that are most
common across the group• 3 user groups identified based upon how people
interface with controls• Technology applied from the commercial sector –
existing technology• Time delays in procurement and overcoming
issues on monitoring gas

GAS MONITORING
• A pulse is required, not always available• Many tenants have pre-payment meters – a pulse
exists, but not able to monitor• Smart meters – Pulse available but permission to
access it must come from the tenant and the operator• Solution – install secondary meters with a pulse
after the meter and monitor that. Not always easy

RESULTS
• To early to give accurate results

CURRENT
• All properties now have monitors• Data is coming in for analysis• Short timescales on gas monitoring, difficult to
get accurate comparisons as yet• Electric only properties starting to show
interesting results• Looking to extend the project by at least 12
months
