Do you know how many excess winter deaths there were in 2022/23, caused by living in cold English, Scottish and Welsh homes? @EndFuelPoverty revealed 4,706 lives were lost, and that the Government has failed to progress with key fuel poverty measures. endfuelpoverty.org.uk/almost-5000-ex…

And here's the paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

How did #COVIDー19 impact household energy demand in GB? Check out our open access paper in @ENBJournal for all things covid, energy and #MachineLearning with #smartmeter data In partnership with @FrontierEcon @NationalGridESO

Looking for an exciting #PhDposition making a difference tackling climate change and energy costs? Interested in how electric vehicles and heat pumps affect the energy system and its flexibility? See erbecdt.ac.uk/news/4-year-uc… #DataScience #energy @FindAPhD @erbecdt @SERL_UK

Just published! Our new @SERL_UK research comparing the EPC model with metered energy use, finding an increasing gap as EPC rating worsens. Full article here: doi.org/10.1016/j.enbu… @EllenWebborn @DrMPullinger @UCL_Energy [1/7]

NEW ANALYSIS: Energy Performance Certificates significantly overestimate energy use in homes in the UK new @UCL_Energy research finds. Why is this? Some answers in this 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@HannahEDaly @EURACTIV Same, I couldn't believe this wasn't the parody account. Shameful

Further to my tweet about the PhD opportunity - it isn't as obvious from the advert, but the funding unfortunately isn't guaranteed as the project goes through a competitive process for funding following applicant selection.

Exciting PhD opportunity for anyone interested in #DataScience #energy #demandResponse #heatpump and #ElectricVehicles Any questions drop a message in the comments/DM me @EPSRC @FindAPhD

NEW PAPER! On heat pumps with 3 different control methods. By Jenny Crawley, @AdriaMVilaseca & Clifford Elwell from @erbecdt, Jez Wingfield & me from @UCL_Energy & Zachary Gill from @EnergiesprongUK & @retrofitacademy journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…

We're trying something new to help candidates find all the great EPSRC-funded PhD opportunities that get posted about on Twitter. If your team or institution has an opportunity open, tell us about it in the comments:👇

celebrated my phd graduation a few weeks ago! pictured here using my degree certificate to hide my pregnancy! while I’m overjoyed, it’s also been bittersweet for a reason many people (esp. British academics) would do well to care more about:

Staff not allowed to shut the doors in the freezing cold @TheWorksStores this weekend - shocking waste of energy and money in a #ClimateCrisis and #CostOfLivingCrisis. Plenty of other shops keeping the doors shut, shape up @TheWorksStores

Great article by my colleague @jess_few on the bill savings and #energysavings from adjusting the thermostat temperature in your home @EnergyDemand @energysaverstew @SaveEnergy_EU @YES_SaveEnergy @beisgovuk @SmartEnergyGB

@dataknut @drrosechard @draccoops @moiranics @SERL_UK No health record linking at this point, though there is one survey question about the number of people not working due to long-term sickness or disability. Misses people working with these types of conditions but a starting point perhaps?

@drrosechard @draccoops @moiranics @SERL_UK @EllenWebborn We're not (I don't think - @EllenWebborn?) - just area level linkage to local climate data. But it _could_ be done...

@dataknut @ProfSebStein @EnergySysCat @SERL_UK Stay tuned for a study on this very topic using the SERL households once we have the data to the end of the year :) serl.ac.uk for project details and to find out how to apply to access the data

@ProfSebStein @EnergySysCat Go @SERL_UK data. 10k households over time. @EllenWebborn

🧵 How has the #EnergyCrisis impacted home heating behaviour? 1⃣ Homes in our Living Lab used 40% less gas* for heating in Sept & Oct compared** to last year. 2⃣ Home temps were 0.6ºC lower*** than last year. *While the sample size of 36 homes is small the data is stark. 1/2

There is tremendous risk in repeatedly analyzing data as it comes in… For example, in the absence of any effect, the p-values of repeated t-tests on a growing dataset will randomly walk between 1 and 0! Thanks to @lakens for inspiring this simulation! #RStats #dataviz

I just called on @RishiSunak to show climate leadership at COP27. Will you sign the petition too? #greenpeace act.gp/3DQ7xeR
