  1. SERVE Project – Challenges, Data Collection Structure and Methodology Michael Bell, Presented By PJ McLoughlin 04 th October 2012 CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  3. Homeowner Selection CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  4. Homeowner Selection - Occupancy 35 31 30 Occupancy  25 Factor = FTO + 0.33(PTO) Frequency 20 FTO – Full time  15 Occupants 13 11 PTO – Part Time  9 10 Occupants 6 5 4 4 4 5 3 2 2 2 1 0 Occupancy Level CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  5. Homeowner Selection – Occupancy Type Occupancy Distribution 40 5 - all of the time  35 4 - most of the time  30 3 - Evenings , weekends  Frequency 25 & some days 20 38 2 - Evenings and  15 22 Weekends 10 19 12 5 1 - Only at weekends  0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Occupancy Type CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  7. Homeowner Selection Survey CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  8. Homeowner Selection Survey  Internet Connection Type (Needed WiFi)  House Occupancy (Looking for a mix)  Home Heating primary & secondary  Fuse board (Looking to avoid old type)  House Type (Semi D, Terraced, Detached two storey, Bungalow, Year Built)  Address (Looking for mix of urban & rural) CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  9. Homeowner Selection Lessons  Test any survey document on the least technical person you can find!!  Then make it clearer even if they understand it…  In a number of cases technicians arrived at houses to install sensors to find no wifi router!  If at all possible try to gauge/quantify homeowner level of cooperation & interest as this will be tested in some cases!!

  10. Survey Data Overview  Primary heating source: Oil consumption monitored, tanks were dipped & measured  Oil boiler make, model, age, type  Secondary heating source = (No. of times lit)x(surveyed fuel used per lighting instance)  Secondary heating source per annum also = (fuel purchased per annum) {Two methods to evaluate accuracy}  Wattage & time used for each device for desegregated electricity houses  Scheduled to follow the installation of energy meters & sensors CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  11. Oil Tank Measure & Dip All shapes & sizes!! CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  13. Primary Heat Survey & Calculations Primary heating:  Oil Boiler make and model  Oil boiler nozzle size  Oil tank dimensions and shape  Oil tank make and model  Dip oil tank to calibrate   Method of relating power meter on boiler to dipping oil tank twice:  The electrical energy used by the boiler was measured over a period this was converted to a volume of oil over the same period. With these two figures the calibration factor is:  F = ∆V/ ∆E (l/kWh)  Conversion factor can then used in future with electrical energy use readings from the power meter at the burner.

  14. Oil Volume Lessons  Initially planned to use manufacturer data to derive volume in tank at time 1 from a simple dip  Not available – Too many tank types.  Also planned to use homeowner brim filling tank with difficult geometry tanks  Not possible due to cash required to fill tank  If long time was left between dippings 1 & 2 there may have been oil delivered -> very important to collect the invoice!  Try to leave long enough that significant oil consumption occurred but not deliveries (if invoices will be difficult to obtain CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  16. Secondary Heat Survey CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission

  17. Secondary Heating Calcualtions Some Examples of the sums: Pallett of hard wood eg ash :1.1x1.1x1.5 is 1.815m3 aprox 165 euros 1.815 stacked hardwood at 20% is 453kg/m3 thus pallet 822.195 kg kWh 3362.778 Eco Briqs 10kg per pack = 50% Wood 50% Miscanthus at 10% MC Miscanthus is 4.36kWh/kg one bale of eco briqs 45.3 kWh (12 briqs in each bale) CONCERTO is co-funded by the European Commission
