We are currently seeking households in Brisbane, Sydney, Newcastle and surrounding areas to become part of the 18-month Scenarios for Future Living trial.

We would fit your house or apartment with energy and indoor environment monitoring devices. By tracking energy use, indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality over a sustained period, we can gather detailed data on how energy and indoor environmental factors interact with household decision-making.  That anonymous information will help policy makers and industry to develop the energy system that best suits Australians.  

You would share energy information with us, and complete short surveys and interviews intermittently over the trial period.

Places are limited. After you register your interest we will get in touch with a survey to help us understand whether your house fits the research criteria.  If you miss out there will be more opportunities to participate in energy trials in the future!
