Accessible in-home display | Smart meter case study | Smart meters

London 2012 Paralympian Marc, who is registered blind, lives in Royston with his partner and recently got a smart meter to help him access and understand his energy use. Accompanying his install was a new accessible in-home display (AIHD), which enables Marc to take full advantage of his new gadget to help reduce his bills.

[I’m Marc, I am 31 and I live in Royston. I am registered blind and I formally represented my country at London 2012, in the sport of Judo.

So getting a smart meter installed was incredibly easy. I definitely feel a lot more in control of my energy consumption. And I also, you know, want to do my bit to look after the planet at the same time.

And no longer I have to provide any kind of information to my supplier. It’s all done through the smart meter network.

So for me the accessible in-home display is great because along with it being high contrast, the in-home display actually speaks to me too. So it means that all the information that’s on screen is relayed to me in a way that I can access it.

So I would absolutely recommend for anybody to get yourself a smart meter. I could imagine this benefitting so many other people in different situations]
