abstract
SMETER is an umbrella term that is used for technologies that measure the overall thermal performance of buildings while they are occupied. This guide explains the potential for SMETER measurement to help deliver energy efficient homes, in the context of the wider adoption of environmental sensing in social housing. The guide is aimed at social housing providers, particularly local and combined authorities and housing associations. It may also be of interest to others, including large commercial domestic landlords and property-linked finance providers.

[[**CS1] [**UF] [**UA] Use with rad stickers to assess/redisk home for heat pump? Quote: "Heat pump installers can use the HTC to calibrate and validate the sizing of a heat pump system. Further, knowledge of the fabric performance can be used by the heating engineer to make the heating system more efficient when commissioning the system (when setting up weather compensation controls)." Quote: "Environmental monitoring tools that incorporate SMETER HTC can be used to better enable residents to understand and manage the environment within their home. Such tools that give residents greater visibility of the thermal performance of their homes, in a way that is understandable and actionable, have been shown to reduce resident concerns about heating and empower them to use their heating in a way that meets their preferred levels of thermal comfort. This includes advice on thermostat settings and heating controls, ventilation practices and other energy efficiency advice. Having greater understanding and control over their energy usage can help consumers to take steps to reduce their consumption, ultimately saving money on bills."]
