ENERGISE Newsletter #5 is available now!

In recent months, our team has been busy with concluding the implementation of the ENERGISE Living Labs (ELLs), and progressing with the analysis both at the country and cross-country levels.

16 ELLs in 8 countries successfully completed

In March, eight implementation teams across eight different countries successfully completed their ENERGISE Living Labs. All of the living labs were implemented from September to December 2019 and were confronted with two challenges.

ENERGISE Living Labs in the UK

The UK team organised a closing ENERGISE event where the researchers presented the preliminary findings based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data and held an open discussion about people’s experiences with the challenges.

ELL closing event in Hungary

The final event of the ENERGISE Living Labs was held on the 6th of April in Gödöllő (Hungary). The great majority of 41 households participating in the laundry and heating challenges came to the event with their families, therefore more than 100 people celebrated together the successful closure of Living Labs.

Policy integration of ENERGISE findings

Since the start of 2019 WP6 has produced and submitted to the European Commission three deliverables, including Policy report (D6.5), Policy briefing (D6.2) and Workshop proceedings report (D6.8).

D3.6 & Online tools and user community

ENERGISE Work Package 3, Designing ENERGISE Living Labs, has been developing the online tools and user community for scaling up ENERGISE Living Labs. The aim of the online tools is to serve everyone interested in doing practice-based interventions such as ELLs in their own contexts.

Meet the ENERGISE team at the eceee conference

At the eceee Summer Study „Is efficient sufficient?” several members of the ENERGISE team will be present to talk about selected outcomes of the ENERGISE project, including the analysis of the ENERGISE Living Labs as well as the ENERGISE sustainable energy consumption initiatives database.

Advancing Energy Policy, a new book

Audley Genus, of Kingston University, attended the launch of a book edited by members of the Shape Energy Horizon 2020-funded platform for inter-disciplinary research on energy. The event took place at University of Cambridge and chapter contributors were invited to give a talk about their contribution to the book and take part in a discussion of the book’s themes and possible impact.
