Apply For Coventry University Research Programme 2015

Decarbonisation of the UK housing stock is now an urgent government priority. Therefore the key issue this PhD will address is how to design effective informatics for domestic energy behaviour change.
The PhD will progress existing research by Cogent Labs at Coventry University on two linked tranches of work. One of these is user studies. You will engage with participating occupants to generate understandings of domestic energy behaviour. The other is to use these understandings to inform the development of energy informatics. You will implement, and evaluate in participants’ homes, innovative, user-centred web resources capable of empowering behaviour change.
