Research methods• Mixed methods

• Field experiment

– Matched case and control trial – 180 households

– Treatment group – insulation upgrade and AlertMes, with ongoing engagement with local Greening Group

– Control group – insulation upgrade and AltertMes only

– Longitudinal measurement of household energy use (four heating seasons) alongside regular surveys of consumption practices and attitudes and networks

– Qualitative interviews with participants

• Comparative analysis

– Comparison of experimental results with activities and impact of other community initiatives aimed at domestic energy reduction.
