项目摘要

We propose an End Use Energy Demand (EUED) Centre focused on Energy Epidemiology to be located at the multidisciplinary UCL Energy Institute (UCL-Energy), which undertakes research on energy demand and energy systems. Energy Epidemiology uses data and modelling to study energy use in the real world, with the aim of understanding the interactions of policy, technology, infrastructure, people and culture. The Centre for Energy Epidemiology (CEE) will: undertake primary data collection; advise on data collection; provide secure and ethical curation of a wealth of administrative, commercial and research data; link, develop and use innovative research methods; and support a structured research programme on energy demand intended to achieve a major reduction in UK carbon emissions. CEE will provide key research and policy insights at city, regional, national and international levels. It will support UK academics, policymakers and industry to research energy demand, by providing a cost-effective, secure and ethical bureau service for energy and related data. It will work closely with the new cross-government Energy Efficiency Deployment Office (EEDO) of DECC, the Energy Saving Trust, UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and the new Open Data Institute (ODI) to marshal and maximise the value of existing and very large future sources of energy-related data ('big data'), ensuring the greatest impact for evidence-based energy demand research. The Centre will initiate and be a key player in an international network of energy epidemiologists, sharing research methods and undertaking cross-cultural comparisons of policies and technologies to reduce energy demand and to help the UK to meet its carbon targets.UCL-Energy:- has a clear focus on energy demand and its interaction with energy supply systems - this has been the core focus of UCL-Energy since its launch, with full UCL support, 35 months ago.- is multi- and interdisciplinary with lawyers, economists, social scientists, engineers, physicists, psychologists, architects, mathematicians and policy analysts co-located in open plan offices facilitating collaborative work. It has successfully worked with researchers from anthropology, English literature and history on energy demand problems.- makes an impact by supporting policy makers and industry to both set and achieve UK carbon targets. Examples of such support include the Green Deal, CCC budgets, smart meter rollout, and the development of products for reducing energy demand. UCL-Energy is the only university centre that has officially advised DECC's new EEDO, whose focus is squarely on EUED.- undertakes research of the highest quality; its staff were recognised as "world leading" by two successive EPSRC Platform Grant reviews. Roughly half its staff were submitted in the Built Environment UoA (30), for which UCL received the highest percentage (35%) of internationally leading staff (4*) in the UK. It holds the grant for the only Centre for Doctoral Training in energy demand.- is not sector-specific; it covers all energy uses and applies methods across sectors e.g. transport and buildings.- is managed as a coherent centre - this is facilitated by placing all staff under a single budget centre with a clear management structure. UCL-Energy is advised and guided by a prestigious International Advisory Board with CEOs and directors from leading companies around the world.- has leveraged a wide range of funding. From an initial UCL investment of £680k, it has so far raised £10m of external funding, including £2m from industry.- has strong leadership - its Director, Professor Tadj Oreszczyn has established a new academic department at UCL in less than 3 years, advises government at senior level, is on the boards of key organisations and has written several strategic papers on the future direction of energy demand research.- has critical mass and sustainability: UCL-Energy has 80 staff and PhD students

我们建议在多学科的伦敦大学学院能源研究所 (UCL-Energy) 内设立一个专注于能源流行病学的最终用途能源需求 (EUED) 中心，该中心负责能源需求和能源系统的研究，能源流行病学使用数据和模型来研究能源使用。在现实世界中，为了了解政策、技术、基础设施、人员和文化的相互作用，能源流行病学中心 (CEE) 将：进行初步数据收集；提供安全和道德的管理建议；丰富的行政、商业和研究数据；链接、开发和使用创新的研究方法；并支持旨在实现英国碳排放大幅减少的结构化研究计划，将为城市提供关键的研究和政策见解。它将通过为能源和相关数据提供具有成本效益、安全和道德的局服务，支持英国学术界、政策制定者和工业界研究能源需求。能源效率部署办公室DECC (EEDO)、节能信托基金、英国能源研究中心 (UKERC) 和新的开放数据研究所 (ODI) 旨在整理和最大化现有和未来超大型能源相关数据源（“大数据”）的价值），确保基于证据的能源需求研究产生最大影响，该中心将发起并成为国际能源流行病学家网络的关键参与者，共享研究方法并进行政策和技术的跨文化比较，以减少能源需求并减少能源需求。帮助英国满足其碳目标。UCL-Energy：- 明确关注能源需求及其与能源供应系统的相互作用 - 自 35 个月前在 UCL 的全力支持下推出以来，这一直是 UCL-Energy 的核心焦点。- 是多方面的 -跨学科的律师、经济学家、社会科学家、工程师、物理学家、心理学家、建筑师、数学家和政策分析师共同位于开放式办公室，促进了人类学、英国文学和历史学研究人员的合作。能源需求问题。- 通过支持政策制定者和行业制定和实现英国碳目标来产生影响，此类支持的例子包括绿色协议、CCC 预算、智能电表的推出以及减少伦敦大学学院能源需求的产品。 -Energy 是唯一一个正式为 DECC 的新 EEDO 提供建议的大学中心，其重点直接放在 EUED。- 进行最高质量的研究；其工作人员连续两次被 EPSRC 平台资助评审评为“世界领先”。大约一半的员工来自建筑环境大学 (30)，伦敦大学学院在英国获得了最高比例 (35%) 的国际领先员工 (4*)，它拥有英国唯一的博士培训中心的资助。能源需求。- 不针对特定部门；它涵盖所有能源使用，并采用跨部门的方法，例如运输和建筑。- 作为一个统一的中心进行管理 - 通过将所有工作人员置于具有明确管理结构的单一预算中心来促进这一点。 UCL-Energy 由来自世界各地领先公司的首席执行官和董事组成的享有盛誉的国际咨询委员会提供建议和指导。UCL 的初始投资为 68 万英镑，迄今为止已筹集了 1000 万英镑。外部资金，包括来自工业界的 200 万英镑。- 具有强大的领导力 - 其主任 Tadj Oreszczyn 教授在不到 3 年的时间里在伦敦大学学院建立了一个新的学术部门，为政府高层提供建议，是关键机构的董事会成员组织并撰写了多篇关于能源需求研究未来方向的战略论文。- 具有临界质量和可持续性：UCL-Energy 拥有 80 名员工和博士生
