| Objectives | The aim of the project is to detail a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) performance specification from the published evidence on comfort and control e.g. definition of the physical parameters that need to be delivered by the HEMS system, for various market segments. The project will summarise the findings and communicate the key implications for the design of better HEMS. | |
| Abstract | The Integrated Electric Heating Project provided a modelling tool to evaluate the opportunities and challenges for electric heating to meet UK household requirements. The tool will be used to create and evaluate upgrade pathways for a small number of housing archetypes informed by detailed information gathered from dwelling participating in the recent Home Energy Management System trial. About the project
Many modelling scenarios suggest electric heating could play an important part of a future decarbonised energy system. The Integrated Electric Heating Project aims to provide an understanding of the opportunities and challenges for electric heating to meet UK household requirements. Through this project EDF Energy will be tasked with developing a software package by extending the capability of their existing open source BuildSysPro modelling tool. With this newly developed software tool the Catapult and EDF Energy will jointly model the interaction across a number of domestic UK building archetypes and household types between the heating system, control system, building fabric, weather and consumer requirements. The outputs from this modelling will highlight the specific opportunities and challenges of delivering low carbon heating solutions in UK homes whilst considering the needs of domestic residents. It will also enable the Catapult to undertake future detailed engineering analysis of current home energy/ heating systems and new heating technologies as they emerge. |
