** This project is only available for students in the MSc in Statistics & Sustainability programme **
The Behavioural Economics Unit of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) commissioned the national survey entitled Behavioural Energy and Travel Tracker (BETT). According to the website (https://www.seai.ie/data-and-insights/behavioural-insights/publications/bett-dataset), “The tracker uses a behavioural science technique known as the “Day Reconstruction Method” to gather accurate and granular data about travel and home energy behaviours in Ireland. It also collects data on factors that may be related to energy behaviours, such as psychological factors, energy poverty, and dwelling and sociodemographic characteristics. … BETT ran monthly from December 2022 to December 2023 and continues to run on a quarterly basis.”
This project aims to revisit the BTT data set and expand on the statistical analysis undertaken. As part of this, the student will be expected to produce a dashboard allowing the user to engage with the BTT.
