1. Gender, energy and smart housing
Horizon 2020 – a flagship for gendered innovation in research?
Professor kirsten gram-hanssen

2. What is smart grid, smart housing and smart cities?
Balancing intermittent renewable energy production and demand
Using digitalisation of resource flow and internet of things to control demand?
Using different types of feedback on consumption to inform households?

3. Differences between a home and a house?
A house is a technical part of the urban infrastructure

4. Differences between a home and a house?
A house is a technical part of the urban infrastructure
A home is where we live our everyday life, maintain social relations and produce identity

5. Why is gender important?
Activities, social relations and identity in homes are highly gendered
If we fail to acknowledge this
the policies and technologies we develop will not work
we might unconsciously contribute to produce gender inequality

6. What do we already know? “Resource-man” and everyday practices
Gender and energy retrofitting
Households level of energy consumption not gendered?
SBi – 10/11/2018

7. What is missing? More projects with a specific focus on gender
That gender is included in all the research on smart grids, homes and cities
Combined with other socio-demographic research

8. Who should do it? Gender and “smart” as multidisciplinary approaches
Knowledge on gender and everyday life exist – but is often not utilised within the technical studies
Socio-technical energy researchers, are used to work multi- and inter-disciplinary
SBi – 10/11/2018

9. Added value and gendered innovations?
Sustainable energy solutions need to include understandings of the use
Innovations that are close to the users and acknowledge the different types of users are more likely to work
Not a pink cover to the energy monitor!
