Fancy getting a new efficient, heating system for free?

We're looking for homeowners with electric heating and smart meters to join our research project (note we are looking for quite a select target group - so please pass on to anyone you think might fit the bill/benefit).
The Living Lab
The Living Lab is a network of volunteers from all around the UK, who help researchers understand how real people use energy in real-life settings.
