Anticipating future impacts of ICTs on energy consumption
This project explores the potential future impacts of ICTs on UK energy consumption to assess the potential for ICTs to drive future improvements in energy productivity.
Measuring flexibility in the timing of electricity demand
This project is developing innovative ways of measuring demand side flexibility.
Energy Demand reduction options
This project looks at energy reduction options and the barriers faced by UK industry for adoption.
High energy consumers
This project looks at identifying patterns of high level energy consumption – gas, electricity and car-based mobility and how this might be reduced.
Conceptualising flexibility
This project is conceptualising ‘flexibility’ to better understand how patterns of energy demand are shaped.
New challenges for energy demand research
Improving energy efficiency helps deliver on all the key goals of energy policy – affordability, security and sustainability – trying to understand the future of energy without thinking closely about demand is not possible. Prof Nick Eyre explores why energy demand matters.
Flexibility: past, present, future
This project looks at how flexibility has been managed in the past; how flexible the energy system is today and what future flexibilities could look like.
Industrial energy demand projection improvements
This project looks at how to improve economic data analysis estimations, estimates of work outputs from industrial processes and inter-relationships between industry sectors.
Multi-level Governance
This project looks how policies for building efficiency differ in England and Scotland as well as monitor Welsh and Northern Irish policy developments.
Monitoring resource productivity impacts on energy demand
This project is developing governance and policy approaches to support improved resource productivity strategies.
Lifecycle energy demand and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction options
This project looks at the relationship between the energy used to manufacture, market and dispose of a product and the energy the product uses during its operational life products.
Flexing passenger mobility
This project looks at how to inform policy by providing research on uptake rates, locations and use of electric vehicles.
