\u201cShifting Routines, Changing Demand<\/a>\u201d: A workshop on the dynamics of household energy demand during daily and network peaks<\/strong><\/p>\n DEMAND Centre<\/a>, Lancaster University UK<\/strong><\/p>\n 28 May (from 1:30pm) \u2013 29 May (to 2pm)<\/strong><\/p>\n Convened by Yolande Strengers, Ben Anderson, and Mike Hazas<\/strong><\/p>\n The DEMAND<\/a> Centre is hosting a workshop on changing household routines and the implications for managing (daily and network) peak demand, drawing on insights from Australian and UK research. The workshop will bring together policy makers, demand managers and key thinkers on the time dynamics of energy demand. As well as exploring current analyses about how demand is shifting, and how it could be shifted, the workshop will involve a series of \u2018provocative experiments\u2019 aimed at generating reflection on both current strategies and future visions of how daily and seasonal rhythms of energy demand can change.<\/p>\n Partially informed by the convenors\u2019 close analyses of both UK and Australian household data, this workshop aims to provoke reflection and discussion on:<\/p>\n To register your interest in attending this workshop, please send through a one-page document which includes:<\/p>\n Places are strictly limited.

Her research is clustered around a series of applied research projects carried out in Australia, and focused on smart technologies, energy demand and sustainability. At RMIT\u2019s Centre for Urban Research, Yolande co-leads the Beyond Behaviour Change Research Program<\/a>, which works with project partners to identify ways of intervening in practices to achieve sustainability outcomes. Yolande has recently published a book on \u2018Smart Energy Technologies in Everyday Life<\/a>\u2019 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013).<\/p>\n Mike Hazas<\/b><\/p>\n Mike is a lecturer in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University.\u00a0 Working across the domains of thermal comfort, cooking, and digital media and IT, a defining feature of Mike\u2019s research is to combine quantitative sensor data (mains socket energy, room occupancy) with participant\u2019s qualitative accounts (interviews, diary exercises) to reach new understandings of how energy impacts underpin and uphold everyday life.\u00a0 Mike co-directs the Socio-Digital Sustainability research group based in the School.<\/p>\n Ben Anderson<\/b><\/p>\nAims<\/b><\/h2>\n
