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 eTEACHER paper presents findings on how ICT-based interventions can empower building energy end-users to reduce energy consumption. The report not only focuses on developing further knowledge of user engagement in energy conservation interventions but also reports on the incorporation of user engagement with the development of ICT-based behaviour change tools. Economic and population growth […]

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 […]
