معرفی
Jacopo Torriti is a Professor at the University of Reading, affiliated with the School of the Built Environment and the Department of Construction Management and Engineering. His research lies at the intersection of energy demand, social practices, and policy, with a focus on achieving sustainable and equitable energy transitions.
His primary research interests include energy demand, demand side response, time-use behavior, electricity pricing, energy policy, smart meters, peak electricity demand, and energy flexibility. His work integrates empirical analysis of time-use and energy data with modeling and policy evaluation to understand how daily activities shape energy consumption and how interventions can shift demand in time and space.
The 15 most recent publications highlight a consistent focus on the relationship between human behavior, time-use patterns, and electricity demand. Key themes include the social and spatial dimensions of energy use, the design and impacts of time-of-use tariffs, demand flexibility, and the role of occupant behavior in building energy performance. His research employs diverse methods, including statistical modeling, neural networks, and critical policy analysis, often drawing on large-scale survey data from the UK and other European countries.
While no specific scientific awards are mentioned in the provided text, his extensive publication record in top-tier journals and edited volumes, along with contributions to policy reports, reflects significant scholarly impact.
Torriti has supervised or collaborated with several researchers, including Yunusov, Ramirez-Mendiola, Lorincz, Curtis, and Smith, on projects related to demand flexibility, time-use analysis, and demand response. He has been involved in research grants and projects funded by organizations such as the DEMAND Centre and has contributed to policy-oriented work for institutions like Citizens Advice and ResPublica. His work often involves interdisciplinary collaboration across energy, sociology, and policy studies.
He is a key contributor to research on energy demand through the Centre for Research into Energy Demand Solutions (CREDS) and the DEMAND Centre, where his work on the social and temporal aspects of energy use has been influential. His research helps inform policy and practice on how to manage peak demand, integrate renewable energy, and design equitable energy tariffs.
