The award is to Connected Response who specialise in the retrofit smart-charging of electric storage heating and hot water systems, as found in 1.5m homes in GB, many of whom are disproportionately fuel poor.Their technology has evolved over the last five years to serve social housing tower blocks and keep residents warm when they want to be warm. This is done by moving away from night-charging only and by making better use of renewable generation to charge heaters at multiple times through the day. This existing service is delivered collaboratively with major social housing landlords and energy suppliers.The current technology has been developed for high and medium density housing applications, Funding will enable fast-track application of IoT radio and mobile phone (LoRa and GSM) technology to reach all household types regardless of geography and proximity to other homes. This is especially important for households in remote rural areas or dispersed suburban properties and will enable them post Covid-19 to enjoy improved comfort, reduced bills and better health. It is widely acknowledged that there is a direct correlation between warmth and wellbeing- better heat means better health -- especially important when households are experiencing a disruption in circumstances.Household heaters will be charged according to individual resident comfort needs, local weather forecast and room temperature, rather than to suit historic electricity network needs. Each household will also be able to play its part in the wider climate change agenda by their heater charging being dynamically aligned with the availability of local renewable energy.Households with electric heating are much more likely to be in fuel poverty due to their reliance on expensive On Peak electricity on winter nights when their stored heat has dissipated. It is anticipated that households will be able to enjoy considerable bill reductions, especially in colder areas. This innovation will add further value to the Smart Meter roll-out and demonstrate that a smart-charging retrofit storage heating solution can play a major part in the electrification of home heating.An Extension for Impact for three months was granted to enable them to engage with and seek support from major fuel poverty and energy efficiency organisations. This will include a small quantity of pilot properties that will have the measure installed as an exercise to refine how consumer engagement will be managed during full implementation.

该奖项颁给了 Connected Response 公司，该公司专门从事对蓄电供暖和热水系统进行智能充电改造，英国有 150 万户家庭使用这种系统，其中许多家庭的燃料严重匮乏。他们的技术在过去五年中不断发展，为社会住房塔楼提供服务，并在居民想要取暖时为他们提供温暖。这是通过摆脱仅夜间充电并更好地利用可再生能源发电在一天中多次为加热器充电来实现的。这项现有服务是与主要社会住房业主和能源供应商合作提供的。当前的技术是针对高密度和中密度住房应用而开发的，资金将支持物联网无线电和移动电话（LoRa 和 GSM）技术的快速应用，以覆盖所有家庭类型，无论地理位置和与其他家庭的距离如何。这对于偏远农村地区或分散的郊区房产的家庭尤其重要，将使他们在 Covid-19 后能够享受到更高的舒适度、更少的账单和更好的健康状况。人们普遍认为，温暖与福祉之间存在直接关联——更好的温暖意味着更好的健康——当家庭遇到环境破坏时尤其重要。家用取暖器将根据个人居民的舒适度需求、当地天气预报和室温进行收费，而不是根据历史电网需求进行收费。每个家庭还可以通过将加热器充电与当地可再生能源的可用性动态调整来在更广泛的气候变化议程中发挥自己的作用。使用电暖气的家庭更有可能陷入燃料匮乏，因为他们在冬夜储存的热量耗尽后依赖昂贵的高峰电力。预计家庭将能够享受大幅的账单削减，特别是在寒冷地区。这项创新将为智能电表的推出进一步增加价值，并证明智能充电改造存储供暖解决方案可以在家庭供暖电气化中发挥重要作用。影响力延长三个月，使他们能够与主要燃料贫困和能源效率组织合作并寻求支持。这将包括少量试点酒店，这些酒店将安装该措施，作为一项练习，以完善在全面实施过程中管理消费者参与的方式。
