\n EDF was involved in Smart Systems and Heat\u00a0 from the very start. Residential heating is a huge contributor to our carbon emissions, so we were keen to know how we can help our customers and the UK as a whole transition away from fossil fuels and onto renewable low carbon heating. <\/em>What SSH has shown to us is that not only do we have to think about new business model and customer propositions and how we can offer new services to consumers but also the new policies and regulations needed to accompany those.<\/em> <\/p>\n \n

Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) has pioneered the use of digital technology to help companies develop innovative low carbon heating offers that work for consumers. This has led to the creation of a 1,500+ home \u2018Living Lab\u2019 where companies can rapidly test their smart home innovations with real consumers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Systems Catapult leveraged the Government-funded Smart Systems and Heat<\/a> (SSH) programme to accelerate innovation to decarbonise heating and homes – one of the hardest challenges on the way to Net Zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work kickstarted the development of innovative energy services (including Heat-as-a-Service, Comfort-as-a-Service) by established energy suppliers, heating manufacturers and emerging innovators, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
