Abstract

Since September 2019, 1,700 bill payers have agreed to share for research purposes, their half hourly gas and electricity smart meter data with SERL. This data will be combined with a COVID-19  questionnaire about changes to occupant energy using behaviours during the lockdown and subsequent energy use surveys while a 'new normal' is established.
