Our New Wireless Electricity Monitor
Background
• Domestic energy use in the UK is responsible for around 30% of the UK’s carbon emissions.
• Domestic energy use represents 58% of an average individual’s overall energy consumption, the other key
areas being driving and flying.
• This equates to around 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide per home per annum on average.
• There is an urgent need to ensure that homes that are built from now on are sustainable and the
Government wants all new homes to be ‘Zero Carbon’ by 2016. However, around 90% of homes that will be
standing in 2020 have already been built. It is existing homes that are the issue.
• One in four homes were built before the Second World War and one in five before the First World War.
Many are in a poor state with a low level of energy performance and high costs. Poor insulation means that
£1 in every £3 currently spent heating UK homes is wasted. Making the existing stock as energy efficient as
possible has been the priority.
The Market: Electricity
•
Since 1990, domestic energy consumption in the UK has increased by 18%
•
A recent research report1 has shown that in the UK there is a high awareness of climate change issue, but a significant
disconnect between this attitude and changes in behaviour. According to a recent survey 2 Britons are the worst energy
wasters in Europe with 71% admitting that the leave electrical appliances on standby.
•
Lights and appliances account for 23% of household energy use and is increasing by 2% per annum. Consumers have more
appliances and they are growing in size e.g. televisions, fridges
•
72% of household energy is used for space and water heating but many people are unaware of hot to use these appliances
efficiently, for instance a boiler is more efficient if kept at a constant 56°C) or how to operate timers and thermostats.
•
The largest increase in domestic consumption in recent years has been for space heating, up 26% between 1990 and 2002.
•
The average temperature inside UK homes is rising. It was 13°C in 1970, 16°C in 1990 and 18°C in 2004. It takes 50% more
energy to heat a house to 18°C than at 1970 levels.
•
Consumers often site appliances in inappropriate places, e.g. cookers next to fridges, which increases energy consumption
as appliances have to work harder
•
The number of households is increasing, exacerbating energy demand
•
Householders regularly admit that they do not turn off appliances. A recent survey states that 25% regularly leave on lights in
an empty room and 36% leave TVs on standby. [EST: Green Barometer. Measuring environmental attitude]

UK Market
•
The potential for the electricity monitor market is vast. One for every home in the UK
•
The UK currently has approximately 25,350,000 homes
•
Sales of electricity monitors to date is c. 3.6 million, less than 14% penetration to date
•
The drive towards more eco friendly homes is slow but increasing in pace:
•
Loft insulation: 28% of UK homes do not have loft insulation : which equates to 7.1 million homes ;
penetration of 72% ( 18,250,000 million households with loft insulation cp electricity monitors
•
Cavity wall insulation: 27% have not installed cavity wall insulation: which equates to 6.8 million
homes
