The value of the smart meter data greatly increases when data is linked (or combined) with other information. We will link your survey responses and smart meter data with data about your local area and your property e.g. weather data or the Energy Performance Certificate for your property, if available. We may link your data to other sources that we can lawfully hold about your address for scientific research purposes in the public interest. Linking of data will only happen with the approval of an independent research ethics committee.
