Projects

Multiple research approaches to empirically determining the performance of domestic heat pumps in the largest European field trial to date (699 dwellings in total).

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) have funded a 5 year project to develop a Smart Meter Research Portal (SMRP) to provide vital access to energy data for the UK research community.

“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts” Albert Einstein

CEE has its own dedicated house to test and develop new measurement techniques as well as generating data for a wide range of projects

SimStock is a new approach to building stock modelling, generating stocks made of individual building models.

A review of energy efficiency projects in the public sector suggests that over 70% of energy efficiency improvement projects would not have happened without Salix funding

Smart Meter data: A new resource for academics to help transform the future energy system

Challenging the assumptions on energy demand and building density by comparing high-rise and low-rise buildings

3DStock is a completely new kind of threedimensional model of the non-domestic building stock, for use in energy analysis

Benchmarking and assessing the energy performance of UK non-domestic building stock: Schools, Offices, Prisons and Higher Education Buildings

Investigating factors affecting consumers’ electric vehicle (EV) purchasing behaviour. By defining consumers’ preference factors, targeted corporate marketing and government policies can be developed to accelerate diffusion of EV.

Quantifying factors affecting mode choice behaviour in developing countries and explore the ways and the potentials of promoting bike sharing and car sharing schemes via examining the past, the present and future mobility opportunities

Mobility as a Service is a new concept for people’s mobility. The aim of this project is to investigate and model consumers demand for purchasing and using MaaS, as well as its potential impact on private vehicle ownership.

Taking advantage of open data and APIs, a methodology is developed to incorporate transport operators’ APIs and other open data sources into smartphone-based travel survey tools..

Developing methodologies for deriving individuals travel patterns via big data. The patterns are analysed based on several socio-economic characteristics, built environment characteristics/urban form, transport mode used, time of the day, happiness, weather conditions etc., while scenarios are constructed for the implications of mobility patterns on energy consumption.

A novel analysis framework for the spatial aspects of car travel, measured by vehicle miles travelled (VMT), extended to include a variable decomposition approach that captures potential asymmetries and hysteresis in a spatial setting.

Analysis of high frequency Automated Identification System (AIS) big data to understand trends and drivers of shipping energy demand and emissions

Previous empirically constructed heat pump load profiles have only been informed by a handful of heat pump installations; here, the RHPP dataset has led to the inclusion of around 600 sites

HEAT looks to develop datasets for examining the relationship between energy use, energy efficiency and indoor environments and their co-relationship with health.

Researchers at CEE have been studying the real impact of energy efficiency retrofits on energy demand using large datasets and detailed surveys

Domestic Energy Efficiency can generate 8,000 “negawatts” per dwelling during peak periods

LUKES, the Longitudinal UK Energy Survey, is a feasibility study and proposal for a major new survey to understand energy demand in the National domestic building stock.

Do retrospective reports about thermal discomfort vs. comfort map on experienced annual temperatures?

What determines residential energy consumption?

Statistical analysis of data related to UK boiler use assesses the impact of government legislation, pointing to significant reductions in energy usage
