- Fuel poverty is a key societal concern: 13.4% of UK households (3.18M) were affected in 2019, thus exposed to associated financial, physical and emotional effects. We demonstrated how IoT sensors can be used by charity workers to support people in fuel poverty. We co-designed novel IoT prototypes with a charity (The Centre for Sustainable Energy) workers, deployed them and studied their use. This work led to an EPSRC press release https://epsrc.ukri.org/newsevents/news/chariot/, £166k of follow-up impact-oriented funding (£51k from University of Nottingham HORIZON Digital Economy Research; £115k from Innovate UK refs: 2725-502273, 132060), and a follow-up £665k EPSRC research grant (EP/V042327/1).
