Building the Smart Homes of the Future
• The Smart Home of the future, as featured in science fiction movies and cartoons like Futurama and the Jetsons - is almost upon us.
• While we are not quite at the state of transporters and instant food makers a la mode of Star Trek, our homes are getting smarter and more sophisticated.
• Real-time monitoring of every aspect of your house is here already, from plumbing to electrics, while companies like Google are trying to get the internet into your TV.
• It takes a lot of computer power to make this happen - and a much more sophisticated approach to smart home construction, presenting new opportunities for a whole raft of suppliers and fitters out there.
In the UK, for example, low-energy "green" buildings are, as yet, extremely uncommon - according to John Alker, head of policy at the UK Green Building Council - an industry body formed by the largest homebuilders in the country.
Equipping the Smart Homes of the Future
• AlertMe Energy is a power flow measurement device that clips to your meter and measures the amount of power pumping through your wires. The default kit contains three things - a meter reader, a meter transmitter, and a hub.
• The guidance provided with the kit explains that you can clip it around the grid supply cable entering out of the bottom of your electricity meter, but we found it took a few tries to obtain a signal which was delivered to the monitor.
• Happily, though, a simple clamp around a cable is all that it takes to get the device hooked up to your electricity system. There's no unscrewing, cable-chopping or other scary things to do - unlike some other energy monitoring kits. Once the meter reader is in place, you hook it up to the transmitter with a 3.5mm jack, pull out a tab to connect the batteries - and you're nearly set.
Domestic Appliance Waveform Analytics in the Smart Homes of the Future
• In the future, Intelligent Energy Metering will be all that is required to manage all domestic utility services. A sophisticated metering solution developed by Navetas, with its product development collaborator Cambridge Design Partnership, accurately identifies and measures the individual electricity consumption of each and every home domestic appliance using Waveform Analytics to capture data and provide consumers with unprecedented levels of information and control over home energy usage.....
• Every Domestic Appliance has its own Waveform Analytics Profile when switched on, is left running, and switched off again. This means they can generate itemised energy consumption records - just like the call details records on your mobile phone bill !
Navetas and Cambridge Design Partnership develop novel home energy hub
Domestic Appliance Waveform Analytics in the Smart Homes of the Future
• Powered by ISE, the Navetas technology solution consists of advanced software algorithms running on a low power, low cost electronic hardware platform which can be integrated into a range of products. In contrast with other disaggregation solutions, ISE’s patent pending algorithms take measurements at a single point on the electricity supply. Utilising advanced signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques (wave form analysis) the system can then calculate the energy consumption of each individual device on the mains supply.
• Crucially for a mass market device, the ISE technology does not require the installer/home-owner to teach the device about the house. Following installation, the system will automatically learn about the appliances in the house and calculate each device's energy consumption using its unique wave-form profile - without the need for any further user intervention.
Navetas and Cambridge Design Partnership develop novel home energy hub
Using Smart Fridge-freezers in the Future
• Up to one-third of all food in the Supply Chain is thrown away - because we are simply unaware of the detailed inventory in our fridge. Smart Refrigerators can manage all of these problems - and more.....
– You bought extra ingredients for a recipe, and now you have left-over food or ingredients you don't know what to do with.
– You can't remember exactly when you bought something – so you buy it again – twice. When exactly did you put that Chinese takeaway in there? How old is that leftover roast ?
– You can't remember if you are out of, or simply running low on, basic essentials such as beer, bread and milk. Perhaps you do remember - but your children were inconsiderate and used up all your milk when their friends came back home for biscuits and milk shakes after school......
• Your Smart Refrigerator uses both bar-code reading and image processing technology with an LCD panel for display / interaction to help make you aware of the products currently stored within.
• Your Smart Refrigerator interface contains many novel features that help you to better manage your Kitchen Inventory. You can see everything in your refrigerator at a glance – via your Internet, Kitchen Inventory from your PC, Laptop, Tablet or Smart Phone.
• Your Smart Refrigerator automatically replenishes itself over the Internet from your favourite 0n-line store – delivered to your door !
Using the Smart Devices of the Future
• Your domestic appliances are now powered wirelessly - so you can take your kettle anywhere in the home. The induction surface senses that a kettle has been set down upon it - and prepares to power it up.
• The induction surface is using magnetic fields to heat directly into the metal coil inside the product, and only the coil - meaning that you will not burn your hand if you put it next to your thawing meal or boiling kettle.
• That may seem far-fetched, but the US firm Fulton Innovations - makes this cordless induction-heating technology – say that we could be only three years away from this being a reality - if manufacturers want it to happen and adopt the technology.
According to Fulton’s Dave Barman - “Induction is more efficient and convenient than conventional gas and electricity, When installed properly, there shouldn't be any cost difference between traditional heating methods and an induction zone."

Passivhaus / Eco-Home
• First Passive House to be built in the UK
Key principles of Passivhaus design
• The first houses built to the Passivhaus design standard were completed in 1991,
and since then over 10,000 houses, schools, offices etc have been constructed to
the standard in Europe, USA and many other parts of the world. There has been
extensive monitoring of Passivhaus buildings which has demonstrated conclusively
that they deliver what they promise. The Passivhaus design specifies that heating
load should be no more than 15 kWh/m2/year, and the data confirms this. There is,
of course, a performance range - depending on lifestyle. Repeatedly studies have
demonstrated the median value is always at, or near, the specified design target.
Key principles of Passivhaus design
• The Passivhaus standard may be confused with some of the more generic approaches
to passive solar architecture - with which it shares some common principles. Where the
Passivhaus standard differs from more generic sustainable concepts is in its ability to
reduce or eliminate permitted space heating demand and primary energy consumption.
• The Passivhaus standard can therefore be considered as a holistic low energy building
design concept with a robust energy performance specification and target performance.
• The ambient comfort and energy efficiency performance of a Passivhaus can be applied
not only in the residential sector but also to commercial, industrial and public buildings –
and is achieved through the application of the passive thermal measures listed below: -
– outstanding levels of insulation with minimal thermal bridges
– passive solar gains and heat retention from internal heat sources
– high indoor air quality, provided by a whole house mechanical ventilation system
– excellent level of air tightness with highly efficient stale air exhaust heat recovery
Passivhaus / Eco-Homes
Key principles of Passivhaus design
• Passivhaus is a performance-based set of design criteria for very low energy buildings,
which can help create buildings which use around 90% less energy than standard UK
buildings. Developed in Germany at the beginning of the 1990s by Professor Wolfgang
Feist with Professor Bo Adamson from Lund University, Sweden, Passivhaus design is
based on well researched and proven building physics.
• Passivhaus design seeks to eliminate the need for space heating and cooling and is based
on the principle that reducing heating loss to a minimum is the most cost-effective and
most robust way of achieving a low carbon building. Instead of complicated design and
expensive bolt-on renewables, Passivhaus design relies on a simple 'tea cosy' effect
maximising the use of super insulation and stringent airtightness and paying meticulous
attention to the removal of thermal bridges. By combining this with passive solar gain
and mechanical ventilation and heat recovery systems, Passivhaus design can create
healthy and comfortable buildings that require minimal heating.
• Thanks to the mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system, a building designed to
Passivhaus design typically does not need a traditional heating system or air conditioning
to be comfortable to live in. Except for very cold days, often the only heating required for
Passivhaus buildings derives from incidental gains from occupants' (and pets’!) body heat
and cooking/ showering activities.
Key principles of Passivhaus design
Key features of Passivhaus Standard buildings include the following: -
1. Super insulation: Exterior insulation of a Passivhaus building to achieve a U value of
less than 0.15 W/m2K
2. Windows: Energy efficient glazing and frames should have U-values not exceeding
0.80 W/m2K
3. Stringent levels of air-tightness: Air leakage through unsealed joints must be less than
0.6 air changes per hour @50 Pa (equivalent of an air permeability of less than
1m3/m2/h @50 Pa)
4. Ventilation: over 80% heat recovery from ventilation exhaust air, using an air-to-air
heat exchanger
5. Total energy demand for space heating and cooling = less than 15 kWh/m2/yr treated
floor area
6. Total primary energy use for all appliances, domestic hot water and space heating
and cooling = less than 120 kWh/m2/year
7. Minimal thermal bridging
8. Optimisation of passive solar gain
9. Proven design effectiveness over 10,000 homes, schools and offices

intelligent buildings design
Overview of 'intelligent buildings' and 'intelligent homes' technologies
• The origins of Intelligent Buildings and Building Management Systems have their roots in the industrial sector in the 1970's, from the systems and controls used to automate production processes and to optimise plant performance. With the advent of the internet, the concepts and applications were then adapted, developed and modularised during the 1980's, enabling transferability of the technology and systems to the residential and commercial sectors.
• In the field of Intelligent Buildings and Smart Homes, SCADA and Building Management Systems (BMS) encompasses an enormous variety of technologies, across commercial, industrial, institutional and domestic buildings, including energy management systems and building environmental controls. The function of Building Management Systems is central to 'Intelligent Buildings' concepts; its purpose is to control, monitor and optimise building services, for example., lighting; heating; security, CCTV and alarm systems; access control; audio-visual and entertainment systems; ventilation, filtration and climate control, etc.; even time & attendance control and reporting (notably staff movement and shift availability, inmate management and remote patient monitoring). The potential for integrating these “Islands of Automation using new and emerging technology is vast, and our lives are changing from the effects of Intelligent Buildings developments on our living and working environments.
• The impact on facilities planning and facilities management is also potentially immense. Any facilities managers considering premises development or site relocation should also consider the opportunities presented by Intelligent Buildings technologies and concepts.

intelligent buildings - control theory
Overview of 'intelligent buildings control theory' and 'intelligent homes' environment: -
• The essence of Building Management Systems and Intelligent Buildings is in the sensing, metering and control technologies, which allow integration, automation, and optimisation of all the intelligent devices and equipment that in turn provide home energy services for managing the climate and environment of the intelligent building.
• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) formed the original basis of the control technologies. Later developments in commercial and residential applications are now based on 'distributed-intelligence microprocessors‘ / cloud services ‘predictive analytics’.
• The use of these technologies allows the optimisation of various site and building services, maintaining comfortable ambient climate yielding cost reductions and carbon footprint savings. There are numerous methods by which the various services within buildings can be controlled, falling broadly into a number of methods types: -
– Passive – Information based – providing energy display information only to householders
– Time based - switching on air-conditioning, heating, hone entertainment, home security, lighting services, Care in the Community or Assisted Living at Home etc - only where and when required
– Optimised - Parameter based - utilising a measure of the home service, such as temperature for space heating, humidity for air-conditioning, decibels for hone entertainment, movement for home security, lumens for lighting services,– in order to maintain desired values within a range
– Active - Response-based - algorithms and feedback loops to maintain home climate control
– Adaptive - Learning-based - Predictive Analytics to maintain an ambient home environment
intelligent buildings - control systems
heating – home climate control
Heating - optimisation and parameter-based (temperature) control examples
• Time-based controls can be used to turn on and off the space heating, condensing boilers (and/or water heating) or reverse the air-conditioning system at pre-selected periods (time of day, week, season etc). Using temperature range Optimisation Parameters: whatever the conditions, the controls make sure the building reaches the desired temperature for the estimated time when occupancy is due to resume.
• Temperature control: protection against freezing or frost protection generally involves running space heating and air-conditioning systems and boilers (and/or water heating) when external temperature reaches a set level (4°C). Compensated systems: will control flow temperature in the air-conditioning system relative to external temperature. This will give a rise in the internal flow temperature when external temperature drops.
• Thermostatic radiator valves: these sense space temperature in a room and throttle the flow accordingly through the radiator or convector to which they are fitted. Proportional control: involves switching equipment on and off automatically to regulate output.
• Other methods can include manual user control, thermostats, occupancy sensing PIR's (passive infra-red sensors), for time-based control and parameter-based control - and sophisticated computer-based Optimised, Active and Adaptive Controlled Environments
humidity – home environment control
Humidity - optimisation and parameter-based (water vapour) control examples
• Time-based controls can be used to turn on and off the air-conditioning system (and/or air heating and warm air recovery) for pre-selected patterns (time of day, week, season etc). Using humidity range Optimisation Parameters: whatever the external conditions, controls ensure the building reaches the desired humidity for comfortable occupation.
• Temperature control: protection against freezing or frost protection generally involves running air-conditioning system and air heat exchange pumps and de-humidifiers when external humidity reaches a set level (% water vapour). Condensation systems: will control humidity in the air-conditioning system relative to external conditions. This will lower home humidity and air temperature when outside temperature and humidity rises.
• Barometric air exchange systems: sense air humidity in fresh air and control the water vapour level accordingly through the air condenser which they control. Proportional control: involves switching equipment on and off automatically to regulate humidity.
• Other methods can include manual user control, thermostats, occupancy sensing PIR's (passive infra-red sensors), for time-based control and parameter-based control - and sophisticated computer-based Optimised, Active and Adaptive Controlled Smart Home and Building Environments
humidity – home environment control • Air Humidity Control Systems
– Waste-air heat exchange and fresh-air humidity control optimises the Home Climate
lighting - ambient control methods
Lighting (active and passive) - optimisation and parameter-based control examples: -
• A variety of different control systems exist for both active and passive lighting sources: - – Passive – Information based – providing household zone lighting level display information only
– Time based - switching on lighting services (active / passive) - only where and when required
– Optimised - Parameter based - utilising a measure of the service, such as zoned light levels for ambient illumination and space lighting – in order to maintain desired values within a range
– Active - Response-based - algorithms and feedback loops to maintain home light control
– Adaptive - Learning-based - Predictive Analytics to maintain an ambient lighting environment
• Zones: - lights are switched on corresponding to the use and layout of the illuminated zones or areas - in order to avoid lighting a large area if only a small part is being used.
• Time-based control: - timed controllers switch active and passive light sources on and off automatically in each zone to a pre-set schedule for light use and illumination level.
• Parameter-based and optimised lighting control: - where an ambient and highlight levels of illumination - or particular use of lighting is required - or changes on-demand.
• Passive Infra-Red (PIR) Occupancy sensing: - In those areas or zones which are occupied intermittently, occupancy sensors can be used to indicate whether or not anybody is present and switch the lighting system on or off accordingly (e.g. external).
• Light level monitoring: - this consists of managing natural light or switching or dimming artificial lighting to maintain a pre-determined light level - as measured by a photocell.
lighting - ambient control methods • Active and Passive Lighting Control
– Active / Passive Lighting Control maintains preferred light levels throughout the day

Combined heat and power (CHP)
• What is CHP?
• Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as co-generation, is the generation and exploitation of both heat and power (usually in the form of electricity) from the same equipment set, in the same place, at the same time.
• Not only does CHP enable the conversion of a high proportion of otherwise waste heat to usable heat, but it is very efficient because power is generated close to where it is being used (and thus electricity transmission losses are minimised). The predominant fuel used for CHP schemes is natural gas (62% in 2000). Other fuels include oil, coal or even renewables (such as municipal and industrial waste, sewage gases, biogases, from anaerobic digestion, biodiesel, gasification etc and wood).
• Who is it suitable for?
• CHP can be used throughout the commercial, industrial and public sectors. Larger, tailor-made systems are particularly suited to applications where there is a high heat demand, such as hospitals, leisure centres, hotels and industrial sites with process heating requirements (especially chemical, brewing and paper industries).
• Some industrial processes which use hot water or steam are suited to small scale (<1MW) CHP, including the following sectors: chemicals; textiles and leather; food and drink; rubber and plastics; engineering; and agriculture/horticulture.
• For a site to support a successful CHP installation, it should typically have a heat and power requirement for at least 4,500 hours/year (although it could be cost-effective with fewer operating hours). Generally, the greater the annual period of demand, then the greater the benefits…..
Combined heat and power (CHP)
57
Combined heat and power (CHP)
• How does CHP work?
• In its simplest form a CHP system comprises a gas turbine, engine or steam turbine to drive an alternator.
• The resulting electricity is used primarily on-site. The waste heat, in the form of steam or hot water, is collected and can be used to provide heat for industrial processes, for community heating and for space heating. It can also provide cooling - using advanced absorption cooling technology.
• Systems vary considerable in size, from micro turbines (<50 kW) to many MW of electrical output
Smart Home Automation
Future Homes
• 'Smart Home' is an alternative term for an intelligent residential building, or an intelligent home. A few years ago these concepts may have been considered fanciful and futuristic. Now they are an actual reality. 'Smart Home' is now commonly used to define a residential building that uses an internet-enabled cloud-based control system to integrate the residence's various home automation systems.
• Integrating the various home systems allows them to communicate with one another through the Home Hub - enabling local and remote one-touch or voice activation via a Smart Phone or Tablet – controlling multiple home systems simultaneously, in pre-programmed scenarios, active or adaptive modes: -
– Home Environment Management - Heating, Lighting and Humidity
– Home Security Management – Fire, Theft, Security and Access Management
– Home Entertainment – Global Multi-media Internet Content Management
• Smart Kitchen –
– Smart Fridge-freezer, Kitchen Inventory, Automatic replenishment over the internet
• The development of smart home systems opportunities and challenges of the future focus on how the home and its related technologies, products, and services should evolve to best meet the needs and desires of the occupants.
Future Homes
Smart Home Design possibilities and variations are endless. Here are some examples: -
smart home - example scenario 1
• A scenario such as the 'I'm Home' scenario may be triggered by vehicle proximity identification
– or pressing one button on a key-ring remote-control or Smart Phone from your vehicle as
you approach the driveway. The building control system receives the key-ring remote-control's
command. This will then trigger a pre-programmed sequence of function events - for example
starting by turning on the lighting in the driveway, garage, hallway and kitchen whilst opening
the garage doors. It then disarms the security system, opens the garage door, unlocks the
interior garage entry door, adjusts the waste heat air exchange system or air-conditioning to a
preset temperature, and turns on the home entertainment system playing your favourite Movie,
Audio Playlist or Channel selection - whilst making you a coffee and drawing you a bath.....
• The Smart Home control system is designed and programmed to meet specific user needs -
based on internal / external climate conditions - in response to 'one button' command initiating
automatic sequential operation of a wide range of integrated home environment systems.
• I am grateful to Adam Kent of ENADO http://www.enado.com/ for providing much of the
content used in this section. ENADO Home Automation and Control specialise in the design
of smart homes and intelligent buildings for smart living and working environments - including
designs for integrated living, energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint contribution.
Future Homes
smart homes - example scenario 2
• At 7:30am and you awake to the sound of your favourite playlist or channel playing in
the background; the lights and sound in your bedroom gradually 'fading up' to allow
you to awake in your own time. A bath is drawn for you and the towel heater in the
bathroom warms up the towels and robes. Downstairs the intruder alarm system is
de-activated and ground floor curtains and blinds partially open; in the kitchen the
coffee machine turns on to make a latte. - and you haven't even got out of bed yet !
• This simple example demonstrates how smart home technology will improve the
quality of people's lives – especially disadvantaged groups such as the elderly,
disabled and handicapped. Designing integrated systems that work together to
automate simple everyday tasks, improve your quality of life and reduce stress levels.

Smart Energy
• Smart Energy – under the provisions of the Energy Act, 2008 (UK), from 2012, every
new Energy Supply Contract will be monitored by a Smart Meter - which can profile
consumer’s consumption with great accuracy. This Profile Information will be collected
via the Smart Grid and aggregated to produce very precise Demand Models which in turn
will allow Energy Suppliers to negotiate their energy supply contracts with Generators.
• The ability to understand and exploit the changed Energy Market dynamics under the
Energy Act, 2008, will be a key differentiator between winners and losers in the Smart
Homes and Energy Markets of the future. The capabilities of Energy Suppliers, each with
a slightly differing propensity to manage vast quantities of Energy Data, will vary. This, in
turn, will cause an imbalance in the market between Suppliers with very accurate
Demand Models - and those with imperfect, inconsistent or incomplete Demand Models.
This will threaten “savvy” Suppliers far less than poor performers. Those imperceptibly
small differences in starting conditions will, over time, become greatly exaggerated. Even
a marginal differential in the ability to compete in the Energy Market will, as time passes;
result in an increasing performance disparity between Energy Market Participants.

• In any Threat Scenario - there are always winners as well as losers. This will affect
different Energy Suppliers in different ways. In the event of any future Global Energy
Crisis various market participants will be exposed to different levels of Trading Risk.
• As an example, War in the Middle East impacting on the availability of European energy
supplies - the French Government will influence EDF to prioritise French consumers
over British, by suspending transmission of spare generation capacity to support for the
UK Energy Gap via the Interlink between the French and British National Grids. This
threat will impact on “savvy” Suppliers far less than on poor or marginal performers.

Customer Experience and Journey.....
UK Smart Metering Programme
Nigel Tebbutt – Solution Design Group
SMART Metering Online
• Smart Metering and Smart Grids will
transform the way that we manage energy
and move data. DECC’s Smart Metering
Programme will roll out Smart Meters to 26
million homes across the UK by 2019. Smart
Meters - when used with other smart devices
and home equipment - promise to help save
energy, cut costs to consumers and utilities
alike, and reduce carbon emissions.
• There are, however, some complex logistical
and technological challenges regarding the
installation of 100,000s of meters every
month and the ongoing support of over 52
million units on completion. Winning the
support of consumers will also be vital to the
programme’s success –by providing value-
added services to improve the quality and
reduce the cost of Home Energy, Security,
Communications and Entertainment.
Smart Meter Benefits
In-home display
• Smart meters will come with a small monitor called an in-home display that shows households how
much energy they are using, what its costs and the carbon dioxide emissions it relates to. This will make
it easier for households to manage their energy usage for example by varying which appliances are
used and at what times.
The end of estimated bills
• Smart meters will mean the end of estimated bills. Energy bills will be accurate as they will be based on
information read remotely from smart meters. This also means that customers will no longer have to
wait in to have meters read. Home moves and change of energy supplier will also be easier and quicker
with smart metering. Furthermore, customers and energy suppliers will be able to see at the same time
the same information about consumption, prices and costs, which will help with query resolution.
Real-time information
• Providing real-time consumption and cost information to customers will help them to budget and avoid
unexpected bills and potentially debt. Smart meters will also be switchable between credit and prepay
without a meter exchange, further increasing customer choice. Prepay customers will see particular
advantages in the new choices available for making payments – for example topping up meters via
mobile phones or the web.
New tariff structures
• Smart meters will help suppliers to better understand their customers and design products and services
to meet their needs. This will include new tariff structures such as time-of-use tariffs that will encourage
customers to shift their consumption from costly (and more carbon intensive) 'peak' to off-peak times.
Smart Meter Benefits
Benefits for distributors
• Energy distributors will also benefit as the information provided by smart meters will help them to
monitor energy across their networks and manage load more effectively.
Home-generated power
• Smart metering will support micro-generation by enabling easy monitoring and billing adjustments
for home-generated power exported to the national grid. This will support solar power and a new
generation of fuel cell boilers which would run on gas and, in addition to heating water, would
generate power for the home.
Information for customers
• In the meantime, more conventional energy efficiency activities will be steadily chipping away at
our energy consumption, as we better insulate our homes, and swap-out older inefficient electrical
and gas appliances for high efficiency ones. Smart metering will show customers the benefits of
having taken these actions, and boost their receptivity to further action.
• Ultimately smart meters should lead to a reduction of energy consumption and of carbon dioxide
emissions. This will help our impact on climate change, whilst significantly improving customer
satisfaction as we move away from estimated bills and streamline our core billing and payment
processes.
Business Transformation Framework
UK Smart Metering Programme
Nigel Tebbutt – Solution Design Group
75
Business Objectives
• Use Smart Metering as market changing opportunity that is value-driven rather than price-driven
• Ability to segment and drive appropriate customers from high cost to low cost channels and use self service processing through multiple interactive access channels
• More engaged, loyal and valuable customers – – Many mainstream Energy Suppliers are currently over-indexing on older /
less affluent customer segments
• Attract younger, more technically savvy customers – Improve positive customer interactions, journey and experience
• Accurate monthly billing – platform for smart metering
76
Business Objectives
• Enhance the customer offer, journey and experience – in order to provide control and certainty for our monthly billing customers: -
– We’ll remind you – We’ll confirm straight away – Help you save energy – Great online support – Paperless communications with you – Call centre and paper bills available but with nominal charge – Value added energy services such as consumption history, high
consumption alerts, account alerts
• Fewer Cancel / Re-bill Events, reduce calls through process and
systems improvement (i.e.: Smart and SMS meter read submissions, instant confirmation, payment process update and notifications)

Monthly Billing Timeline
95
Monthly Billing – the challenge
• Billing Cycle – Quarterly Billing produces four bills per annum – Monthly Billing will produce twelve bills per annum
• Bill Trigger – Quarterly Billing is triggered by a Meter Reading Event – Monthly Billing will be triggered by Monthly Bill Date
• Meter Reading Precedence – Quarterly Billing orders MRA Meter Reading Type primary for Billing – Monthly Billing will order Customer Own Reading as the primary Meter Reading Type
for Monthly Billing
• Cancel / Re-bill – Quarterly Billing will Cancel / Re-bill if an out-of-tolerance Meter Reading with a Meter
Reading Type of a higher precedence is received after the Invoice has been sent – Monthly Billing will normally carry over Credit Balances to the next Billing Period
unless a Change Event is pending (e.g. Final Bill, Change of Tariff, Change of Occupancy etc.)
Future Homes - Service Provisioning
Commercial and Retail Propositions
Smart Homes, Smart People, Smart Lives
Smart Homes and Buildings - Service Provisioning
• The Smart Homes Service Provisioning Model is based on an award-winning energy-efficient intelligent house design, developed by the University of Hertfordshire - a demonstration home equipped with some of the Smart Devices featured in BRE smart homes – and utilised in the Service Aggregation for Smart Homes (SASH) trial. The Provisioning Model is based on ordering / installing Smart Devices, linked to a home area network (HAN), in turn connected via the Smart Grid to the Service Aggregation for Smart Homes (SASH) Cloud Platform for Data Capture.
• The Green Deal Service Provisioning Model is a trial for the prospective UK Green Deal Home Improvement Initiative. In addition to conducting Home Energy Surveys and providing technology installation and trials, the Green Deal Proposal will develop interactive Energy Saving and home carbon footprint measurement tools, intuitive household information displays and a definitive set of Smart Devices and Smart Home baseline message standards to access UK CCP Communication Spine and DCC Data Management services – as well as multiple supplier Energy Service Broker, Provisioning, Management, Monitoring and Control Cloud Infrastructure.

SASH Project and Smart Cities Programme
• The Service Aggregation for Smart Homes (SASH) Demonstration is a Proof-of-concept demonstration based on networking multiple, geographically distributed Smart Communities with multiple Smart Homes – each of which will be integrated with all of the Smart Devices, Appliances, Sensors and Detectors featured in the demonstration Smart Households of the Future Programme. In addition to supporting technology integration trials, the Proposal is designed to develop interactive smart energy management tools, intuitive household information displays and define baseline message standards for Smart Homes and Smart Devices to access the UK DCC data management and service broker platform – within, across and beyond, the Smart Grids creating our Smart Cities of the Future
• The Smart Cities of the Future Demonstration is a second Proof-of-concept trial for demonstration for the prospective UK Energy Market Data Provider Licence Bid – based on collecting and aggregating vast quantities of data from multiple, geographically distributed Smart Communities each with multiple Smart Homes – collecting data streams from multiple, geographically distributed Smart Homes and Communities and feeding Financial (Energy Consumption) Data via the Smart Grid to the Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) Head-end Servers - as well as streaming non-Financial (Household and Environmental) Data to the Cloud for Remote Monitoring and Control, Home Automation, with Real-time / Predicative Analytics for Carbon Footprint Management and Energy Demand Forecasting.
