INESPO

• Innovative Instruments for Energy Saving Policies. 2009-2012. Belspo. With KU Leuven.

• How can smart meters be used to motivate for energy savings ?

• Take the human aspect into consideration

• Innovative idea of coupling a non-financial incentive (CC) or a market based financial incentive (WC) to SM

=> new policy instrument for energy savings

• Developping automated advice through disaggregation. 2009-2012. Innoviris. With OPERA, BEAMS-Electronics.

• Development of: • NIALM algorithms for consumption advice• Business plan• User interface adapted to profiles

Profiles

• Specifying household profiles for more efficient energy demand-side management. 2004-2006. Belspo. With CRIOC and ICEDD.

• Surveys: quantitative and qualitative• Some results:

• Gaps between attitudes and behaviours• Diversity of interests to conserve energy.• Identification of constraints (NB. Constraints both enable and

disable). • Importance of other actors (a.o. architects, technicians, …)

ISEU

• Integration of Standards, Users and Ecodesign in energy-using products. 2006-2010. Belspo. With CRIOC and ICEDD.

• Exploration of the ecodesign and the interfaces of some appliances (heating, lights, computer, washing machines, in-home displays)

• Main results:• Analysis of the EuP directive from the user’s point of view. • Standards embody some idea of users: uses are ‘scripted’. • Propositions of new interfaces.• Quantitative survey of the appropriation of in-home displays.

Mitigation policy and social justice

• Climate change mitigation policies and social justice. Analysis of three measures and recommendations. 2011. King Baudouin Fundation.

• Analysis of 3 measures from the point of view of social justice:• Carbon tax.• Street by street renovation• Smart meters roll-out

13

13


THESPI

• Tools for Household Energy-Saving Practices Innovation. 2010-2012. Electrabel. With CEESE (ULB) and KUL.

• Exhaustive review of social tools to help households to reduce their energy consumption (including feedback and segmentation).

• Analysis of the ‘smart energy box’ appropriation by Electrabel’s customers.

14

14


HECoRE

• Household Energy Consumption and Rebound Effects. 2010-2012. Belspo. With U.Antwerp and ICEDD.

• Review of theoretical and empirical litterature on rebound effects.

• Explanation of rebound effects by different disciplines (economics, social psychology, sociology).

15

15


BEUC

• Empowering Consumers through Smart Metering. 2011-2012. BEUC. With F. Klopfert.

• Analysis of recent European studies about the impact of smart meters and feedback on household energy consumption.

• Recommendations for the roll-out of smart meters.

16

16


Interest in IEADSM Task XXIV

• Understanding of the implicit hypotheses of the different models about behaviour change.

• Adopting the pov of end users: practice theory approach. • Analysis of policy measures: articulation and coordination

(or not) of different dimensions. • Smart metering for energy savings
