Description
Individual and collective action is an important driver of energy consumption in households. In Social Power Plus we aim at directly engaging teams of neighbouring households to raise their awareness and promote active energy sufficiency measures (electricity and heating). To support this process, we launch living lab activities aimed at co-creating and field-testing a mobile app exploiting digital energy feedback, gamification and social norms.
