Abstract

Guidelines for the conduct of end-use residential monitoring campaigns are presented which maximise the value of individual campaigns by developing comparable and exchangeableresults results.

This paper proposes residential end-use appliance metering guidelines in order to produce generally comparable project outputs and common formats for data exchange as well as to minimise common problems associated with the campaign design. The vital need for results dissemination and co-operative actions is highlighted. Toward these ends, the European Commission is invited by the authors to develop a protocol for all the metering campaigns it supports which will satisfy the needs identified.
