Occupancy Factor = FTO + 0.33(PTO)

FTO – Full time Occupants

PTO – Part Time Occupants

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)

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!!

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

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.

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

  • ccurred but not deliveries (if invoices will be difficult to obtain

Secondary Heating Calcualtions

Eco Briqs 10kg per pack = 50% Wood 50% Miscanthus at 10% MC Miscanthus is 4.36kWh/kg

  • ne bale of eco briqs

45.3 kWh (12 briqs in each bale) 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

Some Examples of the sums:
