Executive summary This report represents Deliverable 4.2 – Pilot implementation methodology developed in the course of WP4 activities, focused on the pilot implementation activities.

This report is the final version of pilot implementation methodology and covers the implementation plan in its full extent. The document introduces 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.

The report includes the actions carried out during the pilot implementation for the first and second 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 has been carried out following an incremental approach, and a total of 88 households have been provisioned with the ICT solution.

The report also presents the main building and socio-demographic characteristics of the 88 pilot households where the monitoring kit has been 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.

The monitoring system has been finally installed in 88 homes. These 88 households form what we call pilot homes, and therefore take part of the experimentation. Section 5 (Description of the pilot homes) describes the main building and socio-economic characteristics of all the households partaking in the experiment as a group as well as individually. 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-compliant 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, a 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 Figure 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 have 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, 23 were initially discarded as they did not match with the generic monitoring solution chosen (i.e. they had pre-paid gas meters, dual -Economy 7- electricity meters, non-pulse electricity meter, or old analogue dial).. So finally, the consortium identified 114 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 by 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 (5). This first phase allowed 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 the remaining homes and to address minor technical issues that might be identified after the devices were put into use for a representative period of time.



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).

3.2 Phase 2

Phase 2 of installation started late January 2016, and finalized in May 2016. During this period, an incremental deployment of monitoring kits was carried out. As aforementioned, several factors (reported in D4.3) lead to this segmented installation completed in three iterations.

First iteration of phase 2 concluded in February with an accumulated result of 43 installed kits

Second iteration of phase 2 concluded in March with an accumulated result of 64 installed kits

Third iteration of phase 2 concluded in May with an accumulated result of 79 installed kits

The accumulated results after Phase 2 are 79 homes with the kit installed, incremental installations are detailed in tables 2, 3 and 4.

3.3 Phase 3

Phase 3, provided installation of the remaining houses and was planned after phase 2 was concluded, to allow to integrate in the planning the full feedback from the previous installations.

Some technical issues were also addressed during this phase, i.e., replacement of damaged or not fully operative devices, GPRS connectivity loss addressed, installation of cameras where analogue electricity meters were determined to be compatible. The installations were performed immediately after an extensive analysis of devices performance was completed.

First iteration of phase 3 concluded in August with an accumulated result of 85 installed kits.

Second iteration of phase 3 concluded in October with an accumulated result of 88 installed kits.

3.4 Final implementation remarks

Through the different deployment stages, the DCH maintenance and repairs team was able to deploy monitoring kits in 88 houses from the 114 shortlisted. Some of the reasons why the equipment was not fitted in the total of possible 114 homes are: (i) The tenants were not reachable after several attempts to contact them; (ii) the tenants were not interested anymore; (iii) the initial available information (collected during the Tenants Survey according to the information provided by the tenants) about existing home meters was not enough accurate and during installations some home meters appeared not to be suitable.

All the kits were installed before the deployment of the serious game beta version that started in January 2017.

In order to enhance the robustness of the pilot experimentation, the Consortium decided to move towards the manual collection of energy data. Initially, the possibility of obtaining energy bills was considered. However, the legal barriers and the complexity of the procedures needed to obtain these data obliged the Consortium to abandon this approach. Finally, the Consortium decided that manual meter readings would be used to complement and validate the energy data collected by the monitoring systems installed in the pilot homes. These manual meter readings would be requested to be taken by the tenants of the pilot homes, and when possible they would also be taken by the local consortium partners who would personally take them, for example, during the deployment of the tablets in January.

Because of the abovementioned aspects, at this moment, the Consortium holds the energy consumption data in the form of meter readings of all the pilot homes when starting the baseline period. These data was collected by the DCH installers during the initial installation visit. These data corresponds to the first reading received by the EnerGAware deployed system. The Consortium also holds all the energy consumption data collected by means meter readings by the UOP researchers during the tablet and game deployment visit. These data corresponds to the energy consumption at the end of the baseline period but also corresponds to the first data of the evaluation period. More manual meter readings are expected to be used at other times during the evaluation period (mid-term evaluation and final evaluation).

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 pilot homes This section firstly describes the main building and socio-demographic characteristics of the 88 households that are taking part of the pilot stage of the EnerGAware serious game. This first analysis is done for all 88 pilot homes together (Sections 5.1 and 5.2). These houses represent the final pilot set of homes from the 137 homes previously presented in Deliverable 4.1. The pilot homes presented in this section will be either part of the control group (they will not play with the EnerGAware serious game) or the experimental group (they will have the EnerGAware serious game installed in a tablet). The data presented in this section come from the EnerGAware Social Housing Survey and the DCH’s Building Stock Condition and Energy Database. The second part of this section (Section 5.3) presents the building and socio-demographic characteristics of the 88 pilot homes individually. The data presented in this section comes 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.

5.1 Building analysis

5.1.1 Characteristics

As shown in Figure 9, half of the pilot homes live in flats (50.0%), including mid-terrace houses (34.1%), semi-detached houses (5.7%) and end-terrace houses (10.2%). 42.0% live in flats and 7.9% live in other dwelling types, including maisonettes and bungalows.

Most of the dwellings of the pilot were constructed within the 1976-1995 period (13.6% between 1967 and 1975, 13.6% between 1976 and 1982, 18.2% between 1983 and 1990 and 9.1% between 1991 and 1995). Oldest buildings only represent 7.9% whereas buildings erected after 1995 represent 37.5% of the pilot homes (Figure 10).

According to Figure 11, 60.2% of the tenants live in a single storey. The remaining tenants live in two storeys (33.0%) or three storeys (6.8%).

As shown in Figure 12, most of the dwellings have either two (31.3%) or three (31.3%) habitable rooms3. Some of the dwellings had four (25.3%) or five (12.0%) habitable rooms.

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 Envelope

In terms of building envelope4, most of the dwellings taking part of the pilot have a cavity wall (60.3%). Some of them have a solid wall construction (33.8%) whereas others are built with a timber frame (5.9%) (Figure 14). According to Figure 15, 21.5% of the properties have no wall insulation (i.e. cavity wall or solid wall insulation) and 78.5% of them have some type of wall insulation.

As shown in Figure 16, most householders in pilot homes live in a property with a pitched roof with loft access (61.5%), whereas others have another dwelling above (i.e. a flat or a maisonette) (36.9%). Finally, only 1.5% have a pitched roof with no access. According to Figure 17, roof

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).

5.1.3 Services and controls

According to Figure 21, most of the pilot homes have a standard single tariff electricity meter (71.6%). 28.4% of them have a dual (economy 7) electricity meter, indicating that the residents have two different tariffs for electricity6.

85.2% of the pilot homes had mains gas available whereas 14.8% of the dwellings did not have mains gas available (the space and water heating in the properties is supplied by electricity or bulk LPG) (Figure 22).

As shown in Figure 23, the pilot homes have either gas-fuelled combi (31.0%) or condensing combi boiler (42.3%) or electric storage heaters (19.7%). Only 1.4% of the dwellings have community/district heating. Gas is the most commonly used fuel (85%), followed by electricity (15%) (Figure 24).

Figure 25 shows that most of the pilot homes (57.6%) 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. 32.2% of the pilot homes have manual charge controls, which are commonly associated with electric heating. 6.8% of the dwellings had a full set of heating controls (defined as

a programmer, room thermostat and TRVs) and an additional 1.7% had appliance thermostats. In addition, 1.7% 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 (82.9%) whereas only 8.6% had panels, convectors or radiant heaters and 7.1% portable heaters. Only 1.4% had 2000 or later room heaters (Figure 26). As shown in Figure 27, 82.9% of the dwellings do not use secondary space heating systems, whilst the electricity is used in secondary space heating systems in 17.1% of the pilot homes.

According to what is shown in Figure 28, condensing combi boilers (42.9%), gas-fuelled combis (30.0%) and electric immersion heaters (20.0%) are the most common types of water heating systems in the pool of pilot homes. In 1.4% of the dwellings, the hot water is supplied by a community/district heating scheme. Gas (78.6%) is the most widespread water heating fuel (Figure 29). Electricity is used in the remaining 21.4% pilot homes.

Figure 30 shows that 33.8% of the dwellings have a hot water cylinder ranging between 90 and 130 litres in their homes. The existence or cylinder size is unknown in 54.4% of the pilot homes. 11.8% of the pilot homes do not have a cylinder.

In terms of cylinder insulation and according to Figure 31, 90.9% of the pilot homes having a hot water cylinder are insulated with a spray foam layer on the outside and the remaining 9.1% had a removable insulating jacket.

Only 29.7% of the properties with a hot water cylinder had a thermostat7 installed (Figure 32).

Figure 28. Water heating system 7 A 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 Socio economic anlysis

5.2.1 Age of the Household Representative Person (HRP)

Within the group of pilot homes, tenants had a mean age of 53 (ranging between 24 and 82). As can be seen from Figure 41, the majority of tenants (66%) are over 45 years of age. Most householders fall in the 45-54 (24%) or 55-64 (18%) age category.

Figure 41. Percentage of respondents (of the total) in each age category.

5.2.2 Gender of the Household Representative Person (HRP)

Out of the 88 householders in the pilot homes, 36 (41%) are male, 47 (53%) are female, and 5 (6%) did not provide their gender in the Tenants’ Survey.

5.2.3 Family structure

In total, from the 88 pilot homes, 55 respondents (63%) provided age and gender information on the other members of their household, the remaining 33 (37%) respondents either lived on their own or did not report any details on the other members of their household.

Twenty-nine respondents reported living with one other person. As can be seen from Figure 42, respondents in two-person households mostly reported living with another adult.

Ten respondents reported living with three other persons. As can be seen from Figure 45, respondents in four-person households mostly reported living with children under 16 years of age.


Only four respondents reported living with four other persons and only one respondent reported living with five other persons, due to the small number of respondents in these groups further data is not reported on the family structure of these households (i.e. to ensure their data remains anonymous).

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

As can be seen in Figure 45, from the 88 pilot homes, the household representative person was most likely to be employed (38%) or retired (33%), with smaller groups of respondents unemployed (3%) or looking for work (2%).

had any professional, vocational or other work-related qualifications for which they received a certificate, 80 householders of the 88 pilot homes provided an answer to this question of which 66% answered yes, and 34% answered no. Finally, the HRP was asked to indicate their highest qualification level. Figure 46 shows that 22% of the householders in pilot homes held an O’level, GCSE, NVQ level 2 or equivalent8, 19% held an A’Level, NVQ level 3 or equivalent9, and 17% held a higher education degree level or above. Seventeen percent of householders indicated that the question was not applicable to them.

5.2.6 Welfare benefits

Out of the eighty-five householders of pilot homes who responded to the question, 48.2 percent selected ‘yes’ to the question whether they or members of their household were in receipt of welfare benefits, such as unemployment allowance or housing benefit.

5.2.7 Health of the Household Representative Person (HRP)

The majority of householders in pilot homes rated their health, in general, over the last 12 months as good (21%) or fair (29%) – as can be seen in Figure 47.

Figure 47. Responses to the question ‘how was your health in general in the last 12

months’(percentage of the total).

Sixty-seven respondents in the 88 pilot homes provided an answer to the question ‘how many times have you visited your General Practice (GP) surgery in the last 12 months’. Sixty householders provided a number: on average they visited their GP four times in the last 12 months (SD = 3.99). Numbers ranged from zero to twenty. Seven householders provided a written answer (e.g. ‘rarely’) these were coded into common responses and are displayed in Table 8. Most commonly, householders reported visiting the GP ‘often’ in the last 12 months (28.6%), or being ‘unsure’ about how often they had visited the GP (28.6%), or they provided another answer that couldn’t be categorized into one of these categories (28.6%).

On average, householders in the 88 pilot homes felt fairly satisfied with life nowadays, with a mean score of 6.15 (SD = 2.41) on a scale ranging from 0 (Not at all satisfied) to 10 (Completely satisfied), based on 86 responses. A one-sample t-test indicated that the mean score was significantly above the neutral midpoint of the scale, t(85) = 4.42, p<.001.

Finally, 38.6% of respondents of the 88 pilot homes considered themselves to have a disability, and 20.5% reported that another member of their household considered themselves to have a disability.

5.3 Description of the pilot homes at a household level

Whilst previous sections (5.1 and 5.2) provided the main building and socio-demographic characteristics grouped for all the 88 households taking part in the pilot, this section presents the pilot homes building and socio-demographic characteristics individually. The data presented in this section comes 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 (Appendix B).

As Deliverable 4.2 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. For the purpose of this public Deliverable, houses are identified using the EA code (the monitoring kit code) rather than their DW code, used only internally by the consortium.

5.3.1 Building characteristics

Table 9 shows the main building characteristics of the 88 monitored homes including the type of property, the period of construction, the number of storeys and the number of habitable rooms. Table 4 also provides information about the SAP, types of energy, main heating fuel and renewable energy systems in each household.

Table 11. Energy infrastructure characteristics of the pilot houses.



6. Conclusions This deliverable is the final version of the reporting activities on the pilot implementation methodology, it extends from a preliminary version delivered at the end of the first reporting period (M12). The report presents the planning and the results of the three installation phases carried out to complete the deployment of the data acquisition and monitoring infrastructure in the 88 homes finally targeted.

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 4.2 presents the analysis of the building and energy infrastructure characteristics as well as the socio-economic aspects of the 88 pilot households partaking in the EnerGAware project experimentation.
