EcoHome Lab: In-situ heat pump performance in the UK

***

We are very pleased to host Colin Meek of RB&M who will be presenting his latest work on UK in-situ heat pump performance. Colin's review of the latest Ofgem Data (2017–2022) is currently pending publication by DESNZ and follows on from his previous analysis of domestic installations in over 2,000 homes (2021).

While we regularly spotlight high-performing, specialist heat pump installations, as the sectors moves beyond the early adopters this is a good opportunity to calibrate the overall level of performance being achieved.

=======================================

Now in our regular monthly slot - every second Thursday of the month. A hangout for people taking control of their home energy usage and generation. We use open-source hardware and software to gain a better understanding of energy in our homes, how to make the best use of the energy we generate and reduce energy wasted.

Catch up on some of our previous sessions and presentations.

This is a Carbon Co-op initiative to create an open space for discussion of the latest challenges and potential solutions of the energy transition.

Regular topics include:

• Home energy monitoring.

• House energy performance assessment

• Sensors - electricity, gas, temperature, humidity, air quality...

• User interfaces, dashboards

• Smart homes and automation

• Aggregation of data sources

• Taking the power back! - Making better use of the surplus power we generate

Who is it for?

• Anyone with skills in physical electronics, web development or programming who wants to use that knowledge to reduce energy and carbon!

• End users of open source energy management solutions, such as Open Energy Monitor and Home Assistant.
