Demand response is considered to be one of the key means through which peak energy demand could be ameliorated. This report presents a requirements elicitation exercise (undertaken in collaboration with the Bristol City Council, UK) to elicit the requirements that a smart appliance automation service for domestic energy demand response management must address to be accepted by the households. The study comprises of an interview study with 28 householders, the findings from which were validated through two co-design workshops.
