energy biographies

is a 4 year research project based at Cardiff University and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The project aims to explore how people use energy as part of their everyday life in order to understand how reductions in energy demand might be achieved.

As well as telling you about our research, we hope this website will be a place where we can exchange information. One way we hope this happens is through sharing experiences and stories about energy use.
