Policy recommendations
The project is deriving policy recommendations for different stakeholders, including policy- and decision-makers, energy providers, technology providers (e.g., smartphone app designers), energy communities and consumer associations.
Policy brief #1 – Profiling and nudging energy consumers to heat efficiently (also available in Greek)
Poster – Nudging people towards heating efficiently according to their profile (also available in Croatian)
Later in 2023, an online recommendation tool will be publicly accessible from the website and allow the various interested stakeholders to receive easy-to-access information and recommendations tailored to their specific needs. Consultation workshops, as well as a workshop in the EU Parliament will be organised in 2023.
