abstract={As we transition to Net Zero, real-world smart-meter data from homes using low-carbon technologies (LCTs) delivers insights that theory and modelling alone can't match. From our 2,300 Living Lab participants who currently share their smart meter data with us, we identified 647 homes with over a year of high-quality data (excluding those bound by other trial terms), each with different LCT combinations. This dataset lets us isolate and compare the actual consumption impacts of individual technologies.},
annote={[**UA]  Quote: "Heat pump consumption shows elevated demand throughout the day with two distinct peak periods: 3:30-6:30 and 12:30-15:30. This pattern suggests widespread adoption of time-of-use tariffs, with systems performing pre-heating and/or hot water cycles during lower-cost periods."},
