A grotesque example of how the energy system screws consumers Worse, our bureaucratic overlords eviscerated the Demand Flexibility Service which could have reduced this. Even the rump service paid consumers 5 times less per kWh than these gas giants theguardian.com/business/202…

Dear @ofgem & @neso_energy a 90% reduction in DFS payments will kill the nascent Flex market, just when consumers were beginning to constructively engage with the energy system. It is vital to demonstrate consumer benefit from the energy transition. #SaveTheDFS

Dear @JoshFG, We've recently moved to the valley, but are finding life hard as we can't get internet via any provider. We're not rural but live on a social housing estate. There's no fibre or 4G and no space on the exchange for a phone connection. Any ideas? @WeAreOpenreach

We've updated the default view on heatpumpmonitor.org/ to now show 365 days to give visitors a better understanding of annual performance, we've added buttons to quickly toggle between 7 day, 30 day and 90 days views

Can we use C02 sensors to quantify ventilation rates in occupied domestic properties? Come along to our next meetup with @jess_few & @TrystanLea to find out! This is a live area of research so there'll be plenty of opportunity for discussion. All welcome meetup.com/eco-home-lab-manc…

Interested to hear what CO2 sensors people are using and recommend? We've just installed a number of @airgradienthq Pro & ONE kits in retrofit properties - which include the SenseAir S8.
