RCUK CENTRE for ENERGY EPIDEMIOLOGY (CEE): the study of energy demand in a population.

我们建议在多学科的UCL能源研究所（UCL-Energy）建立一个专注于能源流行病学的最终用途能源需求（EUED）中心，该中心负责能源需求和能源系统的研究。能源流行病学使用数据和建模来研究真实的世界中的能源使用，目的是了解政策，技术，基础设施，人员和文化的相互作用。能源流行病学中心（CEE）将：进行原始数据收集;就数据收集提供建议;提供丰富的行政，商业和研究数据的安全和道德管理;链接，开发和使用创新的研究方法;并支持旨在实现英国碳排放量大幅减少的能源需求结构化研究计划。CEE将在城市，区域，国家和国际层面提供关键的研究和政策见解。它将通过为能源和相关数据提供具有成本效益、安全和道德的局服务，支持英国学者、政策制定者和工业界研究能源需求。它将与DECC的新跨政府能源效率部署办公室（EEDO），节能信托基金，英国能源研究中心（UKERC）和新的开放数据研究所（ODI）密切合作，以最大限度地利用现有和未来大量能源相关数据（“大数据”）的价值，确保对基于证据的能源需求研究产生最大影响。该中心将发起并成为能源流行病学家的国际网络的关键参与者，分享研究方法，并进行政策和技术的跨文化比较，以减少能源需求，并帮助英国实现其碳目标。UCL能源：-明确关注能源需求及其与能源供应系统的相互作用-这一直是UCL能源自35个月前推出以来的核心重点，得到了UCL的全力支持。是多学科和跨学科的律师，经济学家，社会科学家，工程师，物理学家，心理学家，建筑师，数学家和政策分析师共同位于开放式办公室，促进协作工作。它成功地与人类学，英国文学和历史研究人员合作解决能源需求问题。通过支持政策制定者和行业制定并实现英国的碳目标来产生影响。这种支持的例子包括绿色交易、CCC预算、智能电表的推出以及减少能源需求的产品开发。UCL-Energy是唯一一个正式为DECC的新EEDO提供建议的大学中心，其重点是EUED。进行最高质量的研究;其工作人员被连续两次EPSRC平台赠款审查评为“世界领先”。大约一半的员工在建筑环境UoA（30）中提交，其中UCL在英国获得了最高比例（35%）的国际领先员工（4*）。它拥有唯一的能源需求博士培训中心的赠款。不针对具体部门;它涵盖所有能源使用，并适用于运输和建筑等部门的方法。作为一个协调一致的中心进行管理-将所有工作人员置于一个具有明确管理结构的单一预算中心之下，有助于实现这一目标。UCL-Energy由一个着名的国际咨询委员会提供建议和指导，该委员会由来自世界各地领先公司的首席执行官和董事组成。利用了大量的资金从最初的68万英镑的UCL投资，到目前为止，它已经筹集了1000万英镑的外部资金，其中包括来自行业的200万英镑。拥有强大的领导力-其主任Tadj Oreszczyn教授在不到3年的时间内在UCL建立了一个新的学术部门，为政府提供高级建议，是关键组织的董事会成员，并就能源需求研究的未来方向撰写了几篇战略论文。具有临界质量和可持续性：UCL能源拥有80名员工和博士生

We propose an End Use Energy Demand (EUED) Centre focused on Energy Epidemiology to be located at the multidisciplinary UCL Energy Institute (UCL-Energy), which undertakes research on energy demand and energy systems. Energy Epidemiology uses data and modelling to study energy use in the real world, with the aim of understanding the interactions of policy, technology, infrastructure, people and culture. The Centre for Energy Epidemiology (CEE) will: undertake primary data collection; advise on data collection; provide secure and ethical curation of a wealth of administrative, commercial and research data; link, develop and use innovative research methods; and support a structured research programme on energy demand intended to achieve a major reduction in UK carbon emissions. CEE will provide key research and policy insights at city, regional, national and international levels. It will support UK academics, policymakers and industry to research energy demand, by providing a cost-effective, secure and ethical bureau service for energy and related data. It will work closely with the new cross-government Energy Efficiency Deployment Office (EEDO) of DECC, the Energy Saving Trust, UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and the new Open Data Institute (ODI) to marshal and maximise the value of existing and very large future sources of energy-related data ('big data'), ensuring the greatest impact for evidence-based energy demand research. The Centre will initiate and be a key player in an international network of energy epidemiologists, sharing research methods and undertaking cross-cultural comparisons of policies and technologies to reduce energy demand and to help the UK to meet its carbon targets.UCL-Energy:- has a clear focus on energy demand and its interaction with energy supply systems - this has been the core focus of UCL-Energy since its launch, with full UCL support, 35 months ago.- is multi- and interdisciplinary with lawyers, economists, social scientists, engineers, physicists, psychologists, architects, mathematicians and policy analysts co-located in open plan offices facilitating collaborative work. It has successfully worked with researchers from anthropology, English literature and history on energy demand problems.- makes an impact by supporting policy makers and industry to both set and achieve UK carbon targets. Examples of such support include the Green Deal, CCC budgets, smart meter rollout, and the development of products for reducing energy demand. UCL-Energy is the only university centre that has officially advised DECC's new EEDO, whose focus is squarely on EUED.- undertakes research of the highest quality; its staff were recognised as "world leading" by two successive EPSRC Platform Grant reviews. Roughly half its staff were submitted in the Built Environment UoA (30), for which UCL received the highest percentage (35%) of internationally leading staff (4*) in the UK. It holds the grant for the only Centre for Doctoral Training in energy demand.- is not sector-specific; it covers all energy uses and applies methods across sectors e.g. transport and buildings.- is managed as a coherent centre - this is facilitated by placing all staff under a single budget centre with a clear management structure. UCL-Energy is advised and guided by a prestigious International Advisory Board with CEOs and directors from leading companies around the world.- has leveraged a wide range of funding. From an initial UCL investment of £680k, it has so far raised £10m of external funding, including £2m from industry.- has strong leadership - its Director, Professor Tadj Oreszczyn has established a new academic department at UCL in less than 3 years, advises government at senior level, is on the boards of key organisations and has written several strategic papers on the future direction of energy demand research.- has critical mass and sustainability: UCL-Energy has 80 staff and PhD students
