Climate change is a problem that threatens the world and is caused by the release of greenhouse gas emissions, such as Carbon Dioxide from burning fuels like gas and oil. Our dwellings in the UK consume 30% of the country's total energy demand and so that we can reduce the environmental impact of our lifestyles and create greater energy security by consuming less, the UK Government has laid out a road map of measures that will deliver a zero carbon (or as close as possible) housing stock by 2050, affecting all homes in the UK.A key step on the way to 2050 is the installation of so-called 'smart-meters', which the Government has decided will be rolled out to every house in the UK by 2030. These meters will deliver much greater information to both energy providers and householders. These meters will mean more accurate and transparent billing and should stimulate a more competitive energy market, which would benefit consumers. This greater level of information about how we use energy in and around the home can help us understand where we are wasteful and can tolerate a reduction in consumption and when and where changing our habits and/or lifestyle is not acceptable.What is not understood fully is the relationship between the householder and their preferences and tolerances to change and the sorts of pressures and constraints placed on the energy providers for energy production. Today we enjoy the luxury of having as much energy as we want on demand 24hours a day, but increased reliance on renewable sources, such as wind turbines, combined with a need to reduce our consumption as a nation is likely to mean that more flexible supply and generation systems will become more common and this will have implications for how we use energy in the home. We need to find new ways to help us understand how and where we can reduce our consumption without unacceptable impact on our lifestyles. One way to do this is by understanding how everyday practices in the home (including the use of digital media) result in the consumption of energy and how these practices may change in the future because of societal trends ( e.g. the aging population, remote working, broadband in every home) and then to see how this information can offer opportunities to develop products and services that are attractive to the householder and that have a real impact on energy consumption in the home.The challenges are both technological and sociological and so this research brings together academic experts in the fields of social science, user interface design, product design, building modelling and energy consumption, systems engineering and computer science with householders, energy providers and business to focus on the issue of using digital technology for reducing energy demand in the home. This team contends that in order to develop ways in which householders can reduce their energy consumption significantly, with relatively little effort on their part, the needs of the user must be understood in the wider context of a changing energy landscape and that this can lead to the development of new ideas that can be developed into business opportunities that benefit the UK economy.

气候变化是一个威胁世界的问题，它是由温室气体排放引起的，比如燃烧天然气和石油等燃料产生的二氧化碳。我们在英国的住宅消耗了全国总能源需求的30%，因此我们可以减少我们的生活方式对环境的影响，并通过减少消耗来创造更大的能源安全，英国政府已经制定了一份措施路线图，到2050年将实现零碳（或尽可能接近）住房存量，影响英国的所有家庭。迈向2050年的关键一步是安装所谓的“智能电表”，政府已决定到2030年将其推广到英国的每家每户。这些电表将为能源供应商和家庭提供更多的信息。这些电表将意味着更准确和透明的计费，并应刺激更具竞争力的能源市场，这将有利于消费者。这种关于我们如何在家里和周围使用能源的更高层次的信息可以帮助我们了解我们在哪里浪费能源，可以容忍减少消耗，以及何时何地改变我们的习惯和/或生活方式是不可接受的。人们不完全了解的是，户主与他们对变化的偏好和容忍度之间的关系，以及在能源生产方面对能源提供者施加的各种压力和限制。今天，我们享受着一天24小时随心所欲地使用能源的奢侈，但对风力涡轮机等可再生能源的依赖日益增加，再加上作为一个国家需要减少消费，这可能意味着更灵活的供应和发电系统将变得更加普遍，这将对我们在家庭中如何使用能源产生影响。我们需要找到新的方法来帮助我们了解如何以及在哪里减少我们的消费，而不会对我们的生活方式产生不可接受的影响。这样做的方法之一是通过理解日常实践如何在家里(包括使用数字媒体)导致能源消费以及这些实践在未来可能会改变,因为社会趋势(如老年人、远程工作,每个家庭宽带),然后看看这些信息可以提供机会来开发产品和服务,吸引家长,有一个真正的对能源消费的影响。面临的挑战既有技术方面的，也有社会学方面的，因此这项研究将社会科学、用户界面设计、产品设计、建筑建模和能源消耗、系统工程和计算机科学领域的学术专家与家庭、能源供应商和企业聚集在一起，关注使用数字技术减少家庭能源需求的问题。该团队认为，为了开发出一种方法，让住户可以在相对较少的努力下显著减少能源消耗，用户的需求必须在不断变化的能源格局的更广泛背景下得到理解，这可以导致新想法的发展，这些新想法可以发展成有利于英国经济的商业机会。
