Do you know how many excess winter deaths there were in 2022/23, caused by living in cold English, Scottish and Welsh homes? @EndFuelPoverty revealed 4,706 lives were lost, and that the Government has failed to progress with key fuel poverty measures.

NEW ANALYSIS: Energy Performance Certificates significantly overestimate energy use in homes in the UK new @UCL_Energy research finds.

Why is this? Some answers in this 🧵

@HannahEDaly @EURACTIV Same, I couldn't believe this wasn't the parody account. Shameful

[Ellen Zapata-Webborn @EllenWebborn]

Further to my tweet about the PhD opportunity - it isn't as obvious from the advert, but the funding unfortunately isn't guaranteed as the project goes through a competitive process for funding following applicant selection.

[Ellen Zapata-Webborn @EllenWebborn]

Exciting PhD opportunity for anyone interested in #DataScience #energy #demandResponse #heatpump and #ElectricVehicles

celebrated my phd graduation a few weeks ago! pictured here using my degree certificate to hide my pregnancy! while I’m overjoyed, it’s also been bittersweet for a reason many people (esp. British academics) would do well to care more about:

Staff not allowed to shut the doors in the freezing cold @TheWorksStores this weekend - shocking waste of energy and money in a #ClimateCrisis and #CostOfLivingCrisis. Plenty of other shops keeping the doors shut, shape up @TheWorksStores

Great article by my colleague @jess_few on the bill savings and #energysavings from adjusting the thermostat temperature in your home

@dataknut @drrosechard @draccoops @moiranics @SERL_UK No health record linking at this point, though there is one survey question about the number of people not working due to long-term sickness or disability. Misses people working with these types of conditions but a starting point perhaps?

[Ellen Zapata-Webborn @EllenWebborn]

@dataknut @ProfSebStein @EnergySysCat @SERL_UK Stay tuned for a study on this very topic using the SERL households once we have the data to the end of the year :)
