2009-2012. Belspo. With KU Leuven.
• How can smart meters be used to motivate for energy
savings ?
• Take the human aspect into consideration
• Innovative idea of coupling a non-financial incentive
(CC) or a market based financial incentive (WC) to SM
=> new policy instrument for energy savings

9. Smart City Block
• Smart City Block. 2011-2014. Sponsored by Electrabel.
With BEAMS-Energy, ATM, OPERA, CEDD, CEESE,
SBS-EM, BATIR, etc.

10. Energy Consumption Advisor
• Developping automated advice through disaggregation.
2009-2012. Innoviris. With OPERA, BEAMS-Electronics.
• Development of:
• NIALM algorithms for consumption advice
• Business plan
• User interface adapted to profiles
• Goal
• better comprehension of consumption
• specific maintenance/monitoring

11. Profiles
• Specifying household profiles for more efficient energy
demand-side management. 2004-2006. Belspo. With
CRIOC and ICEDD.
• Surveys: quantitative and qualitative
• Some results:
• Gaps between attitudes and behaviours
• Diversity of interests to conserve energy.
• Identification of constraints (NB. Constraints both enable and
disable).
• Importance of other actors (a.o. architects, technicians, …)

12. ISEU
• Integration of Standards, Users and Ecodesign in energy-
using products. 2006-2010. Belspo. With CRIOC and
ICEDD.
• Exploration of the ecodesign and the interfaces of some
appliances (heating, lights, computer, washing machines,
in-home displays)
• Main results:
• Analysis of the EuP directive from the user’s point of view.
• Standards embody some idea of users: uses are ‘scripted’.
• Propositions of new interfaces.
• Quantitative survey of the appropriation of in-home displays.

13. Mitigation policy and social justice
• Climate change mitigation policies and social justice.
Analysis of three measures and recommendations. 2011.
King Baudouin Fundation.
• Analysis of 3 measures from the point of view of social
justice:
• Carbon tax.
• Street by street renovation
• Smart meters roll-out

14. THESPI
• Tools for Household Energy-Saving Practices Innovation.
2010-2012. Electrabel. With CEESE (ULB) and KUL.
• Exhaustive review of social tools to help households to
reduce their energy consumption (including feedback and
segmentation).
• Analysis of the ‘smart energy box’ appropriation by
Electrabel’s customers.
07/09/2012 ULB - IEA DSM Task XXIV 14

15. HECoRE
• Household Energy Consumption and Rebound Effects.
2010-2012. Belspo. With U.Antwerp and ICEDD.
• Review of theoretical and empirical litterature on rebound
effects.
• Explanation of rebound effects by different disciplines
(economics, social psychology, sociology).

16. BEUC
• Empowering Consumers through Smart Metering.
2011-2012. BEUC. With F. Klopfert.
• Analysis of recent European studies about the impact of
smart meters and feedback on household energy
consumption.
• Recommendations for the roll-out of smart meters.

models about behaviour change.
• Adopting the pov of end users: practice theory approach.
• Analysis of policy measures: articulation and coordination
(or not) of different dimensions.
