About Changing Behaviour EU-project https://energychange.info/about-the-project Fri, 20 Dec 2013 12:34:15 +0000 Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management en-gb Project Description https://energychange.info/project-description https://energychange.info/project-description This project aims to support the shift toward end-user services in European energy policy. It will

  • develop a sophisticated but practical model of end-user behaviour and stakeholder interaction
  • integrate knowledge of context (e.g., national culture and institutions), timing and actors into energy demand management practice
  • pilot the transfer of context-tailored demand side programmes from one European country to another
  • create a toolkit for practitioners to manage the social and technical change involved in demand management programmes (i.e., energy efficiency and renewable-based end-user generation).
