Enabling Inclusive Innovation & Sustainable Choice

Enabling Inclusive Innovation and Sustainable Choice will combine Research Institute for Disabled Consumers (RiDC) and Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) resources, skills and knowledge to provide strategic new research and assets to support the development of innovative, accessible smart and low carbon energy products and services, and inform consumer and policymaker decision making. Disabled and older consumers and a newly formed Living Lab test resource of 50 homes, will take part in a programme of six insight and test evaluation projects, including co-design workshops, accessibility and usability evaluations and mystery shopping. All research findings will be reviewed with cross-sector stakeholders and consumers to jointly develop action plans for solutions.
