Load Disaggregation via Non-intrusive
Appliance Load Monitoring (NILM) for smart-meter aggregate load data
• Supervised NILM methods1,2 — relatively simple, robust,
and require short training periods
• Unsupervised method1,3 —does not require a labelled set
of appliances for training
• Training-less method4 —does not require any prior
knowledge of appliances or a training period

Smart electricity meters and IHDs tell us about real-
time household electricity use, but they don’t tell us which appliances were running, nor what to do about it.
Energy disaggregation tells us when, how long an appliance
was used and how much energy it consumed, but nothing
about why it was used. Beyond NILM

Meaningful & salient feedback
Moving away from ‘energy-
centric’ approach in which information feedback
directly concerns energy
consumption
To an ‘activity-centric’ approach, where the
emphasis shifts from energy
use to households’ lived experience, i.e., routines,
habits and activities that
constitute the majority of life
at home.
