Changeworks has partnered with the University of Edinburgh to deliver IDEAL, a cutting edge research project exploring how smart technology can help save energy in the home.
They are looking for Edinburgh households (EH1-17) with gas combi boiler heating to participate.

- Leaving your Wi-Fi running 24/7 to allow the sensors to communicate
Criteria to participate include:
- Having a combi boiler with mains gas supply
- Living in Edinburgh (EH1-17)
