Executive summary This report represents Deliverable 4.1- Pilot implementation methodology (preliminary) developed in the course of WP4 activities, focused on the pilot implementation activities.

This report is a preliminary version of pilot implementation methodology and it is intended to cover the implementation plan, introduce the technical solution designed to provide the energy data collection and communication infrastructure of the pilot homes, and the communication methods used with the tenants participating in the pilot. A final version is planned to be delivered by M24, this version will cover the pilot implementation in its full extent.

The report includes the actions carried out during the pilot implementation for the first reporting period. These activities involve the identification of the suitable houses from the pool of preselected pilot homes (137) and the installation of the monitoring and communication infrastructure developed ad-hoc for the project as a generic solution to ensure the maximum compatibility with the different electricity and gas meters type identified during the analysis of the information collected in WP2 (D2.3). The pilot installation is being carried out following an incremental approach, a total of 43 households have been provisioned with the ICT solution at the time of writing this report.

The report presents the main building and socio-demographic characteristics of the 43 households where the monitoring kit has been already installed. The data presented in this report come from the EnerGAware Social Housing Survey, the DCH’s Building Stock Condition and Energy Database and the information collected by the DCH personnel when installing the monitoring kits.

1. Introduction This task has been slightly modified during the project execution. Initially, part of the aim of this task was to perform an energy audit over the pilot homes. After the recruitment process and following the recommendations of social experts, the consortium decided to modify the interaction approach with the recruited tenants so as to minimise the demand and time commitments on the participating households. Therefore, the consortium agreed on a generic monitoring solution able to be installed in most of the houses in just one visit per home.

During Task 2.1, households were asked in the EnerGAware Social Housing Survey whether they would be interested in partaking in further follow up studies. From the 537 households completing the survey, 237 stated that they would be interested. These households were asked again if they would be interested in being part of the monitoring stage and 137 answered affirmatively. Section 5 (Description of the pool of pilot homes) describes the main building and socio-economic characteristics of a subset of these households, the ones with the ICT solution installed.

At the time of writing this deliverable, the monitoring system has been already installed in 43 homes. Section 6 (Description of the monitored pilot homes) describes the main building and socio-economic characteristics of these households. As this deliverable is publically available, only limited data are presented at a household level for the households partaking in the field trial in order to maintain their anonymity in accordance with the EU ethical procedure governing the EnerGAware project and the Data Protection Act (1998).

2. Data collection and communication infrastructure design

2.1 Monitoring architecture

A dedicated monitoring architecture has been designed and implemented in order to easily deal with data collection and communication constraints at pilot homes. As shown in Figure 1, four different layers can be identified in the adopted approach:

Sensing: within this layer, all the energy and gas meters to be monitored are included.

Devices: all the needed communication gateways and data loggers used to capture data from meters are covered in this layer. Devices include Energy Cams to read gas meters consumption and pulse readers attached to energy meters. This information is collected and logged in a Modbus TCP-complaint data logger which forwards it to the platform layer



through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) implemented on a GPRS communication infrastructure.

Platform: running on the data server, it manages all the devices configuration, maintenance and monitoring tasks. It also parses messages and exposes data through web services to the application layer

Aggregation layer: ensures the raw data are pre-processed and exposed to the IoT platform in a predefined format, this layer also supports the communication interfaces between the two parties.

Figure 1. EnerGAware Monitoring architecture.

Thanks to this architecture, we might be able to scale up the data collection and analysis processes for a wider pilot campaign seamlessly.



2.2 Monitoring infrastructure

In order to comply with DCH houses covered in the EnerGAware pilot campaign, an standard kit to be used in any house with little intervention from installers was defined. Thus, a plug &play approach was followed from the beginning by selecting suitable devices to collect consumption information from gas and electricity meters as well as to group data collected and send to the remote data server for further analysis. Therefore, the monitoring infrastructure used in the project is as follows:

Figure 2. EnerGAware monitoring infrastructure.

2.2.1 Electricity meters

None of the electricity meters installed at pilot homes had any communication port to be used by the monitoring devices to collect consumption data. Thus, the only option was to select those meters that had at least led pulse outputs. The technical challenge was to perform energy monitoring without or with very little intervention reducing tenants’ involvement during installation and operation of pilot campaign. Therefore, the adopted solution consisted in attaching an optical pulse reader jointly with a standard Wireless M-Bus pulse counter. This set would allow to send information wirelessly from the meter (usually located outdoor) to the data concentrator (as shown in ¡Error! No se encuentra el origen de la referencia. 3).



Figure 3. Electricity meter monitoring at pilot house.

2.2.2 Gas meters

Similarly to electricity meters, gas meters already deployed at Plymouth pilot houses did not bring any communication port we could use to get data. Only visual reading of current gas consumption was possible. In order to keep a standard-based monitoring kit, we selected the EnergyCam product from German company Fast Forward. This device is mainly a visual recognition module that reads data and transforms it into an M-Bus parameter that can be read wirelessly by our data concentrator.



Figure 4. Gas meter monitoring at pilot house.

2.2.3 Data concentrator

A standard pre-wired and configured cabinet was designed and developed for the purpose of the ENERGAWARE project. As can be seen in the figure on the right, a very compact design was chosen in order to avoid visual impact at homes. This data concentrator (Figure 5) is able to collect data from meters and send them to the remote server through a GPRS connection.



Figure 5. Data concentrator at pilot house.

As shown in figure 6, the data concentrator cabinet includes the following components:

General protection: following regulations about safety in electrical equipment, a general protection has been included.

Power supply: a 24VDC @ 60W power supply is able to feed the whole set.

Wireless MBusbridge: it is a modified version of ADV DM-108 Wireless Modbus bridge1 developed during the project to be able to collect data from both wireless M-Bus readers attached to gas and electricity meters. Moreover, it converts data to Modbus readable registers that can be polled from the datalogger through the physical RS485 interface.

Datalogger: through its RS485 Modbus RTU port, the ADV UCM-316 Modbus datalogger2 is able to read meters data and store in the internal memory. Periodically (every 15 minutes), this datalogger receives requests from the remote server to send current data through its embedded GPRS modem (with a SIM installed in it).

Antennae: two GPRS and Wireless M-Bus antennae are also installed in the mini cabinet to be able to connect easily to each wireless network without coverage problems.

Figure 6. Data concentrator components.

2.3 Data collection

The complete kit installed at each home sends, upon request from a remote server, all the stored information every 15 minutes. This remote server hosts a dedicated ADV Concordia cloud software distribution managing all the connections and devices through a dedicated virtual private network on GPRS. The remote server performs devices management tasks including:

Data collection scheduler tool: every 15 minutes, each datalogger is requested to send data. Several retries are used to ensure proper reception of data.

Devices connection check: periodically, it “pings” each IP address to identify communication losses

Communication notifications: if any communication incident occurs (loss of communication to datalogger or electricity/gas meters readers), the system raises alarms accordingly.



In order to apply any data analytics techniques and algorithms, the server exposes them through webservices to the IoT Platform. Three methods are implemented, returning a JSON object with relevant info:

getEnerGAwareSignals: returns the list of signals (with the last valid value stored)

getEnerGAwareSignalLastValue: returns a specific signal information

getEnerGAwareTimeSeriesData: returns time series data for a specific signal.

3. Implementation plan Due to the change on the approach on how to handle the interactions with tenants (to minimise the needed technical interventions), the consortium agreed to build and install a generic monitoring solution able to be installed in most of the houses in just one visit per home, instead of tailoring specific kits for each house.

From the 137 houses willing to participate in the monitoring stage of the EnerGAware project, 43 had to be discarded as they did not match with the generic solution (pre-paid meters, non-pulse meters, etc.). So finally, the consortium identified 94 homes suitable to be able to be monitored with the identified monitoring solution.

The consortium also agreed that the installation of the monitoring equipment in the project participant’s homes would be carried out by the DCH in-house repairs team supported ADV, the technology provider partner.

After selecting the houses to be monitored, the developed Pilot Implementation Plan specified a 3-stages installation campaign, starting on November 2015.

The first phase was planned to be performed jointly by DCH and ADV focusing on a small number of homes. This first phase should allow testing the monitoring kit and training DCH personnel in-site. The second phase was planned to include the installation of 60 more kits to monitor both gas and electricity consumption. The third phase was planned to cover the installation of smart meters in those homes where only the electricity is going be monitored.



3.1 Phase 1

Phase 1 was intended to test the developed generic kit in a random sample of houses. The goal was both to assess the suitability of the kit as well as to verify the in-site conditions for installation. In parallel, DCH teams would be trained to install the second phase kits.

This phase took place 11-12 of November 2015. A total of 8 houses were visited, of which 3 were not suitable for installation:

2 of the houses had a non-compatible gas meter (digital meter which cannot be used for camera reading)

1 of the houses with radio coverage problems

Figure 7 shows the installed kit on the gas meter (left), electricity meter (centre) and data aggregator (right) on house #44, which was the most compatible one.

Figure 7. Installation of the monitoring kit in house #44.

Of the 5 houses installed it was further detected that 4 had analogue gas meters with a curve display, which forced adaptation of the installation of the reading camera. Albeit the difficulties, it was possible to adapt the kit for this type of reader (Figure 8).



Figure 8. Installation of kit in analogue gas meter with curve display.

3.2 Phase 2

Phase 2 of installation started late January 2016, and is ongoing. During this period, it is planned to install the monitoring kits in 60 houses, out of which 38 kits are already installed in designated homes. One additional kit was installed but later removed on the request of the tenant. Of these 38 houses, 21 have the full kit installed, while the remaining have partial installation either by exclusively electricity or gas consumption monitoring.

The accumulated results after Phase 2 are 26 homes with the full kit installed, 13 homes have electricity consumption monitoring only, and 4 homes have gas consumption monitoring only (Table 1). The remaining 22 monitoring kits are currently being installed.

3.3 Phase 3

Phase 3, which will include installation of the remaining houses, will be planned when phase 2 finishes, to allow integrating in the planning the full feedback from the installations, as well as the non-used cameras and pulse meters. This is expected to be done until end of March, and installations performed immediately after analysing accurately the overall situation.

3.4 Risk assesment – contingency plan

The total installation of the kits will be finished in time for the next step in the pilot (the deployment of the serious game beta version starting month 20). Therefore, in this aspect there is no need to adapt the plans of the project.

However the project baseline period started November 2015. Knowing that the installation would not be completed in time, the consortium decided that the data needed for the baseline definition will be completed using energy bills from the tenants. Actions to obtain these data have also been started.

4. Resident communication procedure 286 DCH households were sent a recruitment letter and returning form by post to ask them whether they would like to join the energy monitoring study, of these 137 expressed an interest in taking part by sending a completed returning form back to the EnerGAware team using the stamped addressed envelope provided. A specific postal address for the EnerGAware project was set up at DCH’s offices in Plymouth:

EnerGAware Project DCH Health, Safety and Environment 2 Ker Street Devonport Plymouth PL1 4GE

On the returning form, the residents were asked to provide their name, a telephone and/or mobile phone number, an email address, as well as a convenient time to contact them by telephone to arrange installation of the monitoring equipment.



A member of DCH’s Maintenance and Repairs team then telephoned the residents to arrange a convenient time and date to install the monitoring equipment in the homes. They also answered any questions that the residents had about the energy monitoring study.

At the time and date arranged with the residents on the telephone, an equipment installer from DCH’s Maintenance and Repairs team arrives at the property and makes face-to-face contact with the residents. The installer passes the residents an information sheet which explains all the essential information about the project (See Appendix A). The residents are then given enough time to read the information sheet and ask the installer any questions about the project. The residents are then required to give verbal permission to the installer, to start installing the monitoring equipment in their home.

The information sheet is for the residents to keep and provides a direct telephone number (0300 123 8080) and email address ([email protected]) for them to contact at any time during the energy monitoring if they have any questions, notice any problems with the monitoring equipment or wish to withdraw from the activity.

On completion of the monitoring equipment installation, the installers show the residents the equipment and remind them that they can contact the EnerGAware project at any time using the details at the bottom of the information sheet.

The EnerGAware project partners have setup a password protected database of contact details for the residents which they provided on the returning form in the event that they need to be contacted during the monitoring study.

5. Description of the pool of pilot homes This section describes the main building and socio-demographic characteristics of the 137 households that specifically stated that they would be interested in being part of the monitoring stage of the EnerGAware project. The data presented in this section come from the EnerGAware Social Housing Survey and the DCH’s Building Stock Condition and Energy Database.

5.1 Building analysis

5.1.1 Characteristics

As shown in Figure 9, over half of the pool of pilot homes lives in flats (51.6%), whereas 40.2% live in houses and just over 8% live in other dwelling types, including maisonettes and bungalows.



Most of the dwellings of the pool of pilot homes were constructed within the 1976-1995 period (18.8% between 1976 and 1982, 22.3% between 1983 and 1990 and 15.2% between 1991 and 1995). Oldest buildings represent 25.9% whereas buildings erected after 1995 only represent 17.9% of the pool of the pilot homes (Figure 10).

According to Figure 11, 70.5% of the tenants live in a single storey. The remaining tenants live in two storeys (28.7%) or three storeys (0.8%).

As shown in Figure 12, most of the dwellings have either two (36.1%) or three (36.9%) habitable rooms3. Some of the dwellings had four (18%), five (8.2%) or six (0.8%) habitable rooms.

Figure 9. Dwelling type

3 Habitable rooms include any living room, sitting room, dining room, bedroom, study, conservatory with internal quality door between it and the dwelling and kitchen having a discrete seating area.

5.1.2 Envelop

In terms of building envelope4, most of the dwellings interested in being part of the monitoring stage have a cavity wall (65.2%). Some of them have a solid wall construction (27.7%) whereas others have other types of wall constructions including timber frame (5.4%) and granite or other whinstone (1.8%) (Figure 14). According to Figure 15, almost 43% of the properties have no wall insulation (i.e. cavity wall or solid wall insulation) and 57.1% 54.9% of them have some type of wall insulation.

As shown in Figure 16, most householders in pool of pilot homes live in a property with a pitched roof with loft access (63.4%), whereas others have another dwelling above (i.e. a flat or a maisonette) (17.8%) or have a flat roof construction (17.8%). Finally, only 1.0% have a pitched roof with no access. According to Figure 17, roof insulation thicknesses typically are 150 mm (28.8%), 200 mm (21.2%) or 250 mm (26.9%), all above the 270 mm recommended thickness of roof insulation, assuming that the insulating material is mineral wool (the most common insulating material in the UK). In addition, around 1.9% of the social housing tenants in the pool of the pilot homes live in dwellings with 50 mmm roof insulation.

4The building envelope is a term for the parts of the building which surround the heated and cooled parts of the building. This includes external walls, floors or ground deck, roofs or constructions towards unheated ceilings, windows and doors. If a basement is heated then the basement walls and the basement floor are part of the building envelope. If it is unheated, the building envelope includes the floor between the ground floor and the basement. The building envelope may also address heat loss through foundations or other thermal bridges (Laustsen, 2008).

Data regarding glazing (Figure 18) indicates that 56% of the dwellings are single glazed whereas 44% are multiple glazed. As shown in Figure 19, none of the dwellings have secondary glazing. Most of the dwellings in the pool of pilot homes (97.2%) had no draught-proofing5 (Figure 20). Only 1.8% of the dwellings had all the glazed areas draught-proofed and 0.9% had half.

5.1.3 Services and controls

According to Figure 21, most of the pool of pilot homes have a standard single tariff electricity meter (47.3%). 37.5% of them have a dual (economy 7) electricity meter, indicating that the residents have two different tariffs for electricity6.

50.9% of the pool of pilot homes had no mains gas available (the space and water heating in the properties is supplied by electricity or bulk LPG) whereas 43.7% of the dwellings have mains gas available (Figure 22).

As shown in Figure 23, homes willing to participate in the monitoring stage of the project have either gas-fuelled combi (30.6%) or condensing combi boiler (36.1%) or electric storage heaters (28.7%). Only 0.9% of the dwellings have community/district heating. Gas is the most commonly used fuel (69.7%), followed by and electricity (29.4%) and bulk LPG (0.9%) (Figure 24).

Figure 25 shows that most of the pool of pilot homes (56.8%) have a programmer for setting on/off times of space and water heating and a room thermostat for setting a single demand temperature for the dwelling overall. 38.9% of the pilot homes have manual charge controls, which are commonly associated with electric heating. Only 1.1% of the dwellings had a full set of heating controls (defined as a programmer, room thermostat and TRVs), 1.1% of the dwelling were found to have a programmer, TRVs and a bypass and an additional 1.1% had appliance thermostats. In addition, 1.1% of the dwellings were found to have a boiler energy manager installed, which is a type of automated/intelligent heating control system that uses Variable Thermal Response (TRV) and Auto Weather Compensation software to achieve energy savings.

Most of the dwellings have no secondary space heating system (86.1%) whereas only 7.4% had panels, convectors or radiant heaters and 4.6% portable heaters. Only 0.9% had an open fire using mineral and wood and another 09% had 2000 or later room heaters (Figure 26). As shown in Figure 27, the electricity is mostly used in secondary space heating systems (13%) whereas mineral and wood are used in a much lower proportion (0.9%)

6The dual rate was designed so that properties that rely on electric storage heaters can run them overnight when it is cheaper and store the heat energy for release during the day. One rate is a standard day rate and the other is a cheaper overnight rate.

Figure 27. Secondary space heating fuel type

According to what is shown in Figure 28, condensing combi boilers (35.8%), gas-fuelled combis (30.3%) and electric immersion heaters (28.4%) are the most common types of water heating systems in the pool of pilot homes. In 0.9% of the dwellings, the hot water is supplied by a community/district heating scheme. Gas (70.6%) is the most widespread water heating fuel (Figure 29). Electricity is used in the remaining 29.4% pool of pilot homes.

Figure 30 shows that 87.5% of the dwellings have a hot water cylinder in their homes. The cylinder size is unknown in 47.3% of the pool of pilot homes. When this information is available, the most common size is the normal one (39.3%) ranging between 90 and 130 litres. Only 0.9% of the pool of pilot homes have a medium cylinder (131-170 litres).

In terms of cylinder insulation and according to Figure 31, 81.3% of the pool of pilot homes having a hot water cylinder are insulated with a spray foam layer on the outside and the remaining 13.6% had a removable insulating jacket.

Only 36.1% of the properties with a hot water cylinder had a thermostat7 installed (Figure 32).

7A cylinder thermostat measures the temperature of the hot water cylinder and switches on and off the water heating. Without a thermostat, residents have no control over the temperature of their hot water and can lead to inefficient energy use.

5.2.4 Employment status of Household Representative Person (HRP) and other family members

As can be seen in Figure 46, in the pool of pilot homes, the household representative person was most likely to be employed (39%) or retired (32%), with smaller groups of respondents unemployed (4%) or looking for work (3%).

Figure 46. Employment status of the household representative person (percentage of the total).

The household representative person was asked to report the employment status of other household members; the responses are summarised in Table 2. Employment status of other

members of the household

. Similar to Figure 4646, the highest number of responses was given for the ‘employed’ and ‘retired’ category.

5.2.5 Qualifications of the Household Representative Person (HRP)

The household representative person was asked whether they had any educational qualifications for which they received a certificate, 126 householders in the pool of pilot homes provided an answer to this question of which 71% answered yes, and 29% answered no. The HRP was also asked whether they had any professional, vocational or other work-related qualifications for which they received a certificate, 124 householders in the pool of pilot homes provided an answer to this question of which 65% answered yes, and 35% answered no. Finally, the HRP was asked to indicate their highest qualification level. Figure 47 shows that 23% of the householders in the pool of pilot homes held an O’level, GCSE, NVQ level 2 or equivalent9, 17% held an A’Level, NVQ level 3 or equivalent10, and 18% held a higher education degree level or above. Eighteen percent of householders indicated that the question was not applicable to them.

9O’level (Ordinary Level), GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education), and NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) Level 2, are academic and work-based qualifications up to the age of 16 years old. 10A’Level (General Certificate of Education Advanced Level) is awarded to students completing secondary or pre-university education. NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) Level 3, is the equivalent work-based qualification.

One hundred and six householders in the pool of pilot homes provided an answer to the question ‘how many times have you visited your General Practice (GP) surgery in the last 12 months’. Ninety-four householders provided a number: on average they visited their GP five times in the last 12 months (SD = 5.01). Numbers ranged from zero to twenty-four. Twelve householders provided a written answer (e.g. ‘rarely’) these were coded into common responses and are displayed in Table 3. Most commonly, householders reported visiting the GP ‘often’ in the last 12 months (33.3%), or being ‘unsure’ about how often they had visited the GP (25%).

On average, householders in the pool of pilot homes felt fairly satisfied with life nowadays, with a mean score of 6.03 (SD = 2.54) on a scale ranging from 0 (Not at all satisfied) to 10 (Completely satisfied), based on 134 responses. A one-sample t-test indicated that the mean score was significantly above the neutral midpoint of the scale, t(133) = 4.70, p<.001.

Finally, 38.8% of respondents in the pool of Pilot Homes considered themselves to have a disability, and 20.3% reported that another member of their household considered themselves to have a disability.

6. Description of the monitored pilot homes This section describes the main building and socio-demographic characteristics of the 43households where the monitoring kit has been already installed. The data presented in this sectioncome from the EnerGAware Social Housing Survey, the DCH’s Building Stock Condition and Energy Database and the information collected by the DCH personnel when installing the monitoring kits using the Technical Information Data Collection Form (See Appendix B).



As Deliverable 4.1 is publically available, only limited data are presented at a household level for the households partaking in the field trial in order to maintain their anonymity in accordance with the EU ethical procedure governing the EnerGAware project and the Data Protection Act (1998). In addition, where possible, data have been aggregated into defined groups. The full range of data for each home is held internally and only accessible to those project partners requiring the data and are signatory to a non-disclosure agreement.

7. Conclusions This deliverable is the preliminary version of the reporting activities on the pilot implementation methodology, a final version will be delivered a t the end of the second reporting period (M24). The report presents the planning and the results of the two installation phases carried out at the time of writing this report.

The original approach for the field campaign has been slightly modified during the project execution. Initially, the aim of this task was to perform an energy audit over the pre-selected pilot homes to identify the technical requirements and design an ad-hoc ICT solution for the data collection. After the recruitment process and following the recommendations of social experts, the consortium decided not to annoy the pre-selected tenants with preliminary visits and audits. Therefore, the consortium agreed on a different approach, the design of a generic monitoring solution able to be installed in most of the houses in just one visit per home.

Deliverable 4.1 has presented the analysis of the building and energy infrastructure characteristics as well as the socio-economic aspects of 43 households resulting of the initial field campaign undertaken.
