Your Role
Research lead - Local Energy Advice Demonstrator project, Future Fit Homes
• Work collaboratively with partners to define research questions: Broadly your research will focus
on an overarching research question- which aspects of our approach to engaging households in
retrofit are most effective; how we could improve our work; and what is the impact of it.
Constituent research questions could include (but are not limited to): What are the benefits of
place-based engagement as opposed to borough-wide? What is the impact of early adopters of
retrofit on attitudes of neighbours toward retrofit? What kinds of messaging (intrinsic or
extrinsic) is most effective for different client groups? What barriers do households face to
retrofit and how can these be overcome? What are the impacts of domestic retrofit on energy
costs and well-being? What is the SROI of our approach?
• Develop an action research methodology. These will include some quantitative and some
qualitative research and utilize existing systems for data collection.
• Input into requirements of the CRM and its development.
• Understand our funders’ KPI reporting requirements and design a methodology for collecting
data via the CRM. KPI’s will include comparative pre-and post-retrofit measures, C02 emission
reductions, comfort and customer satisfaction.
• Contribute to data collection. This could include training the RA’s and RC’s to collect pre and post
intervention data; conducting in depth interviews with clients; hosting a focus group with
stakeholders.
• Analyse the data (this could include both some quantitative data analysis and will almost
certainly include qualitative data analysis).
• You will coordinate quarterly action research meetings with the project team and steering group
and facilitate quarterly reflection, and biannual implementation of adaptations. Build a
relationship with academics working in the field of energy demand.
• Represent Selce and Repowering London at external events and conferences as required.
