This scientific paper analyses several European buildings such as schools, office buildings, healthcare centres and residential buildings to quantify the potential on comfort enhancement and energy saving through behavioral change of building users towards energy efficiency. Buildings account for 40% of overall energy consumption in the European Union. Energy related to occupant behaviour is identified […]
Due to end-users’ habit being one of the prominent factors influencing building performance, changing user behaviour to encourage energy-efficient habits has tremendous potential to facilitate energy savings. Four ongoing European projects, eTEACHER, FEEdBACk, InBetween, and UtilitEE, developed ICT solutions achieve this change through triggering mechanisms, informative feedback, gamification, and automation services within a human-centric and […]
eTEACHER is the app that teaches a different way to save energy, in your everyday places. It’s designed and developed 100% on users’ feedback to provide all functionalities you want in one single app. To pursue energy efficiency in buildings through changes in user behaviour, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are increasingly being used to […]
Can ICT change people’s attitude towards energy efficiency? The answer is certainly yes. This issue was at the core of the last joint workshop held by four energy projects, during the Sustainable Places conference. Amidst the challenge of improving energy efficiency, increasing attention is being put on how to engage and empower building users and […]
Last October, the EU Commission released the Clean Energy Transition – Technologies and Innovations Report (CETTIR the in-depth analysis to the first annual Competitiveness Progress Report (CPR) based on the results of the Low Carbon Energy Observatory. eTEACHER was mentioned among the EU-funded projects using ICT to improve citizens behaviour towards energy efficiency. Moving towards net-zero economies […]
On October 28, from 9 to 12 CET, four EU-funded projects will lead an interactive session to investigate results and challenges when developing smart tools and solutions to improve users’ energy habits. In the framework of the Sustainable Places conference, taking place from the 27th to 30th of October, four EU-funded projects organise the virtual […]
The eTEACHER video is the results of almost three years of work from 12 partners all over Europe and the combination of different skills and knowledge. Our mascot will show you the work done, the results achieved and those expected in the future. Do you know what kind of energy do we consume in the […]
