<p>In 2011 the Energy Demand Research Project reported on a series of Government-supported
supplier-led trials covering a range of feedback mechanisms from over 50,000 GB houses.
These included but were not limited to In Home Displays with research into energy
efficiency advice, benchmarking, billing, financial incentives and digital media (e.g.
web and television). The findings showed that electricity savings with an In Home
Display were generally 2-4% higher than with a smart meter only.</p><br /><p>More
recently, the Department has consulted on enabling suppliers to undertake controlled
trials of innovative In Home Display alternatives when they install a compliant smart
metering system. We are currently considering responses ahead of publishing decisions.</p><p><br></p><br
