The goal of this publication was to share our method and get feedback on it, before we improve the existing profiles. Hence, the profiles we're sharing are not the final profiles.

⏭️ The second phase of the work will focus on improving the existing profiles in response to stakeholder feedback and potential use-cases we identify. The final set of profiles will include gas consumption, alongside electricity.

🏡 The goal was to understand whether smart meter data could be used to identify different patterns of energy usage and characteristics of homes and households associated with each usage pattern.

🔋 In the first phase of our project, we have developed two prototypes based on half-hourly electricity smart meter data to group households based on how they use energy.

Findings can be explored in the dashboard at the end of the piece (you can see differences across profiles for different contextual features). Feel free to suggest additional contextual features you’d like to see in a next phase of the project, through our feedback form.

Hello Mary - yes, we’re using a pseudonymised UPRN to join information about households in specific energy-use profiles with their respective EPC information. You can read more about how we do it in the technical appendix (it’s linked at the end of the project update page).

🔍Main takeaways:
- There has been an increased interest in heat pumps over time!
- Homeowners are still facing issues that are preventing them from getting a heat pump.
@nestauk.bsky.social's sustainable future team has been working across most of them!

You can also see more information for some of the above topics. Cost can be split into several sub-themes including the upfront cost of installing a heat pump, the running costs of having a heat pump as a heating system and the related rise of electricity prices.

Here we have the same for the second forum, which is more focused on self-building.

The topics of conversation identified in the context of heat pump conversations and respective breakdown of sentiment, for one of the forums analysed - where we find mostly opinions from homeowners.
NB: those who are unhappy are more likely to share their negative experiences.

🆕 Some of the learnings: 🆕
For most of the 2000s and 2010s, heat pumps were a niche topic on the forums we analysed. But interest has surged, and they were the 7th most discussed energy / heat topic in 2023.

We have identified topics of conversation using a topic modelling approach called BERTopic. We used sentiment analysis to identify the share of interactions that were positive, neutral or negative.
