This paper was produced as part of the eViz project (2012-2016; eviz.org.uk), funded by the UK's ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES RESEARCH COUNCIL UNDER THE TRANSFORMING ENERGY DEMAND IN BUILDINGS THROUGH DIGITAL INNOVATION (TEDDI) [grant number EP/K002465/1] led by S.P. and Pieter deWilde. The completion of the manuscript was facilitated by the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions and therefore the authors gratefully acknowledge the support from UK Research and Innovation through the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions [grant reference number EP/R 035288/1]. The scheme to install external wall insulation was supported by funding from DECC to enable Plymouth City Council and Plymouth Energy Community to deliver its Green Deal for Communities programme. The Cabinet Office funded the staff time from the Behavioural Insights Team.
