Unintended Consequences – When energy interventions don’t turn out the way they were intended.
Abstract: The Hard-to-Reach Energy Users (HTR) Task has estimated that over ⅔ of the human population can be regarded as HTR energy users. Characterising this very large energy user segment and starting the community and frontline sector outreach via field research pilots was the main focus of Phase 1 of the HTR Task. Phase 2 pursues […]
Can we achieve a just transition when so many energy users remain hidden?
The UsersTCP Hard-to-Reach Energy Users (HTR) Task has recently started Phase 2, which focuses on energy users that are not just hard-to-reach, but who remain hidden from the attentions of policy makers, programme managers and researchers.
Are the majority of energy users really hard to reach? Or are we not doing enough to support them?
Abstract: This webinar summarises all the headline findings from the extensive research undertaken in Phase 1 of the Hard-to-Reach Energy Users Task, and aims to answer the important question: “Are the majority (estimated by this research to be at least 2/3 of energy users) of energy users really “hard-to-reach”? Or are we simply not doing […]
How to engage hard-to-reach energy users – case study examples from around the world
Abstract: This webinar presents findings from a Cross-Country Case Study Comparison of over 20 case study analyses in 8 countries, on how to engage hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users in the residential (vulnerable households) and non-residential (small business) sectors. This includes a discussion on: high-level overview of objectives and results from relevant case studies; what audience […]
Hard to decarbonise and hard to reach: developing solutions that work for planet and people
Abstract: Reducing heat sector related carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 involves reducing heat demand, decarbonising the fuel supply and deploying low carbon heating technologies. A main contributor to this challenge is what has been referred to as the ‘Hard to Decarbonise’ building stock (HTD). This term, newly introduced into the built environment, refers […]
Hard-to-Reach Energy Users Task
Abstract: Energy efficiency is sometimes called “the greatest market failure of all times” – it makes so much sense, is imperative to achieve the energy transition affordably, and yet it remains difficult to achieve the energy efficiency potential that technological and policy innovations promise to deliver. Is this because our technological and policy advances fail […]
