Impact of Residential Retrofits on Gas and Electricity Consumption in France

This study examines the impact of residential energy retrofits on household energy consumption in France using smart meter data from nearly 2,500 Hello Watt users, using a two-period difference-in-differences design. The dataset combines daily electricity and gas consumption collected through smart meters, hourly temperatures from Météo France, and user-declared home and retrofit information. As a control, we use a group composed of homes of Hello Watt users that are similar to the treated homes, but did not undergo any renovations. The average treatment effect on the treated is estimated with the estimator of Sant'Anna & Zhao (2020). Estimates are reported by energy source (electricity vs. gas) and by retrofit type. The retrofit measures considered are limited to single interventions: wall insulation, attic insulation, floor insulation, installation of an air-to-air heat pump, or installation of an air-to-water heat pump. A comprehensive retrofit is defined separately as the simultaneous implementation of at least two of these measures. Our results show that insulation works cause a significant decrease in both electricity and gas consumption (3% to 13% and 5% to 16% respectively, depending on the retrofit type). We also estimate the reduction on the heating consumption only (7% to 27% for electrical heating and 7% to 19% for gas heating). We also study retrofits that consist in replacing a gas boiler with an air-to-water heat pump, resulting in a cut of 85% in carbon emissions.

A Conjecture of Flach and Morin

A conjecture, recently stated by Flach and Morin, relates the action of the monodromy on the Galois invariant part of the p-adic Beilinson-Hyodo-Kato cohomology of the generic fiber of a scheme defined over a DVR of mixed characteristic to (the cohomology of) its special fiber. We prove the conjecture in the case the special fiber, of the given arithmetic scheme, is also a fiber of a geometric family over a curve in positive characteristic.

Occupancy Detection Based on Electricity Consumption

This article presents a new methodology for extracting intervals when a home is vacant from low-frequency electricity consumption data. The approach combines multiple algorithms, including change point detection, classification, period detection, and periodic spikes retrieval. It shows encouraging results on both simulated and real consumption curves. This approach offers practical insights for optimizing energy use and holds potential benefits for residential consumers and utility companies in terms of energy cost reduction and sustainability. Further research is needed to enhance its applicability in diverse settings and with larger datasets.

A Hodge-Type Filtration on Rigid Cohomology

Given a scheme X over a complete discrete valuation ring ${\mathcal O}_K$ of mixed characteristic,Gros,in his study of syntomic cohomology in the smooth and proper case, introduced a filtration on the rigid cohomology of the special fiber $X_k$.Gros claimed that this construction was independent of the choice of immersions involved, citing an unpublished paper of Berthelot. However no proofs of this have appeared: here we prove it.
