Transnational Holistic Ecosystem 4 Better Energy Efficiency through Social innovation

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

THE4BEES builds on the hypothesis: Energy is consumed by people rather than by buildings. Although most of the strategies to achieve energy efficiency in buildings focus on technical mitigation measures, to reach the ambitious goals on Low Carbon set by EU and Alpine Strategy, both structural and soft approaches shall be considered in a complementary way across the AS area. THE4BEES focuses on the behavioural changes of users in public buildings needed to achieve reduction of energy consumption. Such changes will be originated by the use of innovative ICT applications developed by a transnational ecosystem. The Project will set-up transnational Labs involving academia, decision makers and key administrations, entrepreneurship and citizens. Awareness raising and capacity building actions will prepare the ground for a Co-Creation activity aimed at the development of software applications (mobile apps, serious games, social interaction). Those applications will be used by the target groups in the demonstration sites (schools, houses, factories) to encourage behavioural changes for energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. Behavioural changes and energy reduction will be assessed and will improve transnational, regional and local low carbon and spatial development policies. Sustainable exploitation will also be analysed in order to maximize effectiveness and trigger economic development of the Alpine Space.

Achievements (EN):

The majority of strategies to achieve energy-efficient buildings concerns technical mitigation measures. THE4BEES project, on the other hand, builds on the hypothesis that energy is consumed by people, not by buildings, and therefore both factors - people in interaction with technology - should be considered. It therefore focused on the behavioural changes of users in public buildings that are necessary to achieve a reduction in energy consumption. These changes were achieved by using innovative information and communication technologies (ICT), which were previously developed and identified by the project. Target groups in in schools, houses and factories tested the ICT applications to promote behavioural changes for energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction.

Expected Results (EN): Level of Implementation of low carbon policy instruments

Expected Outputs (EN):

Main results are: [R1] increased awareness on energy efficient behaviour and its impact on carbon footprint. [R2] participated improvement of low carbon policies. The harmonic combination of [R1] and [R2] will contribute to the enhancement of low carbon policy instruments (practical responses to the specific needs), while the presence - either direct or indirect in the partnership - of policy makers will guarantee the of implementation.
