| Abstract | The Shediac Smart Energy Community Project and its component the Shediac Residential Energy Study were conceived by our friends at New Brunswick Power (NB Power) with inspiration from the Town of Shediac and in response to the needs of the time: to reduce fossil fuel use for electricity generation, to increase grid capacity, and to maintain grid stability. The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) was privileged to have been chosen to serve as the Research Partner to help make it happen together with NB Power and Siemens. This book is a compilation of the ten research reports that emerged from the Shediac Residential Energy Study at its conclusion in the spring of 2025. It is a complete summary of what was done and what was learned from the primary analyses of the data from all sources. Chapters 1-3 provide the research design details. Chapters 4-9 provide detailed results for each component of the study: household energy use patterns; rooftop solar photovoltaic generation with battery energy storage; time-of-day electricity rates; cold-climate mini-split heat pumps; smart thermostats; and motivations for energy behaviours. Chapter 10 summarizes the whole and highlights implications.to reduce fossil fuel use, increase grid capacity, and maintain grid stability. |
