The Geuzenveld Project
![Page 5: Amsterdam Smart City Geuzenveld Project Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553df51b4a7959c6368b4854/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Designed as an accelerator for climate/energy programs, bringing
parties together and initiating projects that reduce CO2 and yield local
best practices for full scale roll out
• The city of Amsterdam and grid operator Alliander have initiated a
program to support the climate and social-economical goals
• Reducing emissions by focusing on Sustainable Living, Working,
Transport and Municipality enabled by Smart Grid technology
• Based on 3 key principles: collective effort, Tech push / demand pull
and economic viability

• 700 houses equipped with smart meters and energy feedback between
April & September 2010.
• Planned to have several different types of display deployed.
• Objectives:
o to establish effective ways of communicating energy information to
householders;
o to understand the balance between cost and effectiveness of
consumer displays;
o to research the behavioural changes stimulated.

The value of displays
![Page 8: Amsterdam Smart City Geuzenveld Project Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553df51b4a7959c6368b4854/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Turkeys and Christmas
Why should energy retailers use displays
• Demand side reasons: why customers want displays
o Money: budgeting / visibility of feed-in tariffs / rising costs
o Conscience: sustainability / carbon footprint / feel good factor
o Services: convenience, complexity, peace of mind
• Supply side reasons
o Demand will stay high but the mix will change
o Increasing uncertainty
o Control rising costs
• Business Reasons
o Replace commodity income by service income
o Market disruption – smart energy management
o Competition

Visible Energy Trial
• Year long trial completing in Jun 2010
• Qualitative and quantitative behavioural trial to substantiate market
research
• Supervised and analysed by University of East Anglia
• Sponsored by Carbon Connections
• 275 homes across east Anglia
• Three types of displays
![Page 13: Amsterdam Smart City Geuzenveld Project Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081717/553df51b4a7959c6368b4854/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Visible Energy Trial Interim Survey Results
Solo Duet Trio
High levels of satisfaction: 95% 82% 73%
Daily usage – ‘push’ versus ‘pull’: 70% 60% 28%
Changes in behaviour: switching things off more
than before:
70% 95% 78%
Learning: those who have increased their level of
confidence:
85% 65% 69%
Follow-on actions as a direct result of having a
display:
2/3rds of those without a full set of low energy
light bulbs bought additional ones
22 people are now considering installing
insulation

Conclusions
• Its about people...
• Once people start to use displays they seem to want more
• Push displays are needed to engage and remind people
• There is a learning curve: people can be scared off with too much detail
too quickly
• Displays:
o Create awareness
o Generate confidence
o Stimulate action
o Bring people into the market
