Broadband ISP BT<\/a> has today announced their new “Smarter Living Challenge<\/em>” project with Hubbub<\/a>, which over the next 3 months will trial the use of various smart devices in order to help show whether they can help 60 diverse UK households to both cut their bills and carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The project will introduce various smart home devices, apps and propose tips to help households. Apparently, this will include kit such as smart thermostats and radiator valves; smart lighting and plugs; apps to manage energy, food and water use and websites to compare usage and learn how to save money on bills.<\/p>\n

The group will then come together as a digital community to share their experiences and, maybe, even inspire each other to try something new. “Experiences and case studies from the project will be used as evidence and inspiration to show how technology can make running a home easier, cheaper and reduce household carbon emissions<\/em>,” which makes it sound like BT<\/a> has already determined the outcome of their trial.<\/p>\n

The findings from all of this are due to be announced in March 2021<\/strong>, although it’s unclear whether or not they’ll then do a larger-scale deployment (the trial itself is described as being an “initial<\/em>” scheme, so we may see more of it if the results are positive).<\/p>\n

Andy Wales, BT<\/a>’s Chief Digital Impact and Sustainability Officer, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“BT has led the way on climate action for over 28 years and we\u2019ve pledged to become a net zero carbon emissions business by 2045. We are keen to understand ways that our 22 million household customers can reduce their own carbon emissions through a smart and responsible use of tech inside and outside the home.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The announcement includes the results of a new survey of 3,000 UK adults by Censuswide, which found that 63% of people don\u2019t currently use any technology to run their homes, although 23% said they’d use more if it reduced their impact on the environment. However, despite 61% of respondents saying they are very concerned about the impact of climate change, some 43% also felt as if being environmentally-conscious is expensive.<\/p>\n

One issue that tends to crop-up with “smart home<\/em>” products is that they aren’t always kept up-to-date against the latest security exploits, which is a particularly important point since homes often install certain kit (e.g. thermostats) for longer-term use – so it needs to last a long time.<\/p>\n

On top of that such kit can also be quite expensive, which may make it much harder to achieve a real-world cost saving from any benefits they bring. Similarly, we’ve noted that such products don’t always factor in the impact on the environment of their construction, which should ideally be weighed against any benefits they may bring to homes.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, we look forward to seeing what kind of benefits this will all bring, although it’s often the case that well-maintained manual approaches can also be very effective (e.g. adjusting the boiler by a timer to suit your needs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
