Abstract

There is an identified need for housing to decarbonize, yet new technical configurations of homes have implications for the everyday lives and relationships that unfold within them. Active homes, which can generate, store and export electricity, include a range of technologies that may be unfamiliar to residents and alter aspects of everyday life. With a small number of active homes in the UK, little is known about how people find life in these innovative homes and adjust to the combination of technologies that they encompass. This paper addresses an identified need for qualitative longitudinal insights from residents, foregrounding their lived experiences within these innovative homes. We highlight how the temporal perspective afforded by a qualitative longitudinal study is particularly valuable in elucidating the dynamic, evolving and relational nature of learning to live in an active home. We suggest that qualitative longitudinal approaches can offer new insights into resident experiences, of relevance to wider work on decarbonization transitions.
