Researchers from MIT&#8217;s Senseable City Lab have unveiled a promising solution: empowering people with better data and personalized coaching to drive significant energy savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An experiment conducted in Amsterdam tested this approach, resulting in participating households slashing their energy bills by more than half. This substantial reduction progressed 75% of the families involved out of energy poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur energy coaching project as a whole showed a 75% success rate at alleviating energy poverty,\u201d co-author Joseph Llewellyn, a researcher with MIT\u2019s Senseable City Lab, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mit.edu\/2025\/study-shows-how-households-can-cut-energy-costs-0113\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study&#8217;s context is critical: energy poverty means spending at least 8% of annual household income on energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many, the burden is much heavier, according to co-author F\u00e1bio Duarte, an associate director of MIT\u2019s Senseable City Lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnergy poverty afflicts families all over the world. With empirical evidence on which policies work, governments could focus their efforts more effectively,\u201d Duarte said in the news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following engagement with city officials in Amsterdam, the researchers noted around 550,000 households in the Netherlands are in energy poverty, equating to 7% of the population. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These figures are mirrored across the EU and the United States, highlighting the global relevance of the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To carry out the experiment, two versions of an energy coaching intervention were implemented with 117 households. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One group received one report on their energy consumption along with coaching on increasing energy efficiency and modest improvements such as added insulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other group received these components plus a smart device providing real-time energy usage updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across both groups, households saw dramatic reductions in energy use. Electricity consumption dropped by 33%, gas by 42% and monthly energy bills plummeted by 53%, reducing the share of income spent on energy from 10.1% to 5.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple yet impactful behavioral changes, such as heating only occupied rooms and unplugging unused devices, played a significant role in these results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe range of energy literacy was quite wide from one home to the next,\u201d Llewellyn added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importantly, households with smart devices quickly altered their energy habits, using the devices for only three to four weeks following coaching visits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur research shows that smart devices need to be accompanied by a close understanding of what drives families to change their behaviors,\u201d added co-author Titus Venverloo, a research fellow at MIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implications of these findings extend beyond individual households. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local policymakers could replicate and adapt such interventions to provide sustainable energy solutions. Administering structural factors, including energy-efficient buildings and reduced energy costs, are also critical paths to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Llewellyn is spearheading a new experiment with Amsterdam officials aimed at residential building retrofits, ensuring rent doesn&#8217;t increase concurrently with reduced energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many low-income households, immediate investment in energy-efficient products is not feasible. Llewellyn pointed out that energy costs often rank low in priority compared to other household necessities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnergy is always going to be this invisible thing that hides behind the walls, and it\u2019s not easy to change that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-024-80773-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">published<\/a> in Nature Scientific Reports, opens new avenues for tackling energy poverty, providing both immediate and long-term benefits for millions facing this hidden yet substantial economic burden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a world where nearly 30% of U.S. households struggle to pay their energy bills and approximately 50 million people across the European Union face similar challenges, addressing energy poverty is a pressing issue.
