- Homes represent 27% of UK energy use, with performance gap - the difference between theoretical and actual energy use - a key issue. To what extent can you diagnose home heating behaviour using a single temperature measurement? A field trial validated overnight thermal decay algorithm is presented for 25 homes. This led to the development of the MyJoulo USB sensor and platform to exploit this approach. The MyJoulo home heating tool was awarded first place in the 2013 British Gas Connecting Homes competition (25 contestants at the final event). This UoS startup was acquired by Quby in 2015, see http://quby.com/en/page/8.
