Calculating carbon emissions for energy data in the UK

I've recently been taking a closer look at the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) guidelines. While we currently produce figures on CO2 emissions in Energy Sparks we're not producing SECR style reports for schools or trusts. This is something we're planning to add to the product soon, so I've been looking at what's involved … Continue reading Calculating carbon emissions for energy data in the UK →

Falsehoods this programmer believed about energy meters

This is the second part to a post I published earlier this week in which I summarised some things I learned about working with half-hourly energy data. I'll be updating that shortly with a few extra details and clarifications. This post will be a summary of some things I've learned about energy meters and metering. … Continue reading Falsehoods this programmer believed about energy meters →

Falsehoods this programmer believed about half-hourly energy data

It is common for energy generation and consumption values to be presented as half-hourly readings: giving 48 readings over the course of a single 24 hour period. This is the type of data we're working with on a daily basis in Energy Sparks. I thought I'd share a few things that I learned about working … Continue reading Falsehoods this programmer believed about half-hourly energy data →

The complexities of working with non-domestic half-hourly meter data

Energy consumption in non-domestic properties are more complex to analyse that domestic settings. Some notes on some of those challenges, particularly around metering.
