Data Story

Resident Engagement

An Impact Report allowed a PBSA site team to both engage with their resident and reduce energy consumption.
Scenario.

The Utopi Impact team have regular check-ins with clients to support them through the use of The Utopi Platform, reporting, and to ensure they get the most out of the insights available.

Upon doing a Resident Impact Report for a PBSA asset, they were able to find that a student room was using 60kWh of energy per day. Over 3x higher than the average winter consumption for a room of that size.

Result.

Armed with Utopi data, the site team were able to intervene with the resident and offer education on the impact of their energy usage and heating behaviours. After discussing the importance of reducing energy consumption, the resident agreed to minimise their use of some electrical devices where possible, reducing their usage by 15kWh per day.

But every change makes an impact…

Over a tenancy this could result in:

  • 1,105kg of Carbon Saved
  • £1,579.50 Cost Savings

Real world context:

 

1,105kg Carbon emissions are equal to 7,898.5km of driving, enough to drive the length of the UK over 5 times!
