Gas central heating to be banned in new homes from 2025 https://t.co/In4SWDHRQl Exciting implications for our work with the Energy Systems Catapult on selling heat as a service https://t.co/1mwcmMY8pu
Really exciting to see how our field trial and research for @EnergySysCat over the last 2 years is now entering the real world with @BristolEnergy selling heat as a service in warm hours rather than kWh
.@BristolEnergy becomes the first UK energy supplier to trial selling ‘heat as a service’, rather than kWh. Driven by digitalisation and data science, households in our Living Lab can buy a ‘Heat Plan’ tailored to their individual home and lifestyle.

Used the System Usability Scale (SUS) in testing last week. 5 out of 15 didn't recognise the word 'cumbersome'. Does the scale tacitly assume a high level of education? None of our sample were tertiary educated
Free #electricity in exchange for sharing #data. Such developments along with potential new business models relating to zero carbon #energy delivery that we have been working on create major implications for the user experience of energy consumption https://t.co/l8TZ7sTlsH
Great #TEDtalk on the paradox of choice. Choice/decision puts doubt & responsibility on us - making us anxious & unhappy with only ourselves 'to blame'. #AI could improve shopping to outsource decisions. Regret the decision later? we don't blame ourselves https://t.co/cjpGIt2bvb
We know that customers sometimes crave friction in the authentication user experience, and it seems this is taken further with @Barclays allowing customers to switch off #spending. The harder the experience, the better the experience https://t.co/cFaNxVB53r
Heuristic Evaluation methodology gets a makeover. Methods like #PURE create better systems faster & on a budget. PURE + research with real users catch #usabilityissues which participants can struggle to articulate. Experts & research make a great pairing.

Observe, learn, iterate. Don Norman (@jnd1er) sums up the best way to approach Human Centered Design, even in an Agile-based world. #hcd https://t.co/12QUBkCNv4
While @Uber may relish its battles with incumbent cabs and regulators, aquiring #BirdScooter or #LimeScooter brings them up against a completely different 'enemy' - pedestrians. Might they have met their match?
