Energy in Minds!
The project Energy in Minds! aims to reduce the use of fossil energy and CO2-emissions in the building sector by 20 to 30% in 4 European communities within a 5 year period. To reach this goal a wide range of measures are being taken to reduce the energy consumption and increase the use of renewable energy.
There are many possible ways to reduce energy. However, only the combination of many single measures and the active participation of both private individuals and public organisations within the community can ensure goals are realized successfully. To achieve the objectives Energy in Minds will be carried out by focusing on six key actions:
• Make people more energy aware
• Increase RES (renewable energy sources)
• Increase RUE (rational use of energy)
• Reduce demand
• Improve interaction
• Dissemination and Exploration
Most of the key action were carried out by every city.
The close cooperation of different cities, with similar approaches, improves the quality of measures significantly. Intensive exchange of experience and training within the consortium is one key aspect to integrate the numerous single measures undertaken within the CONCERTO programme. In doing so the knowledge already existing and the experience gained during the implementation of Energy in Minds is effectively used by all partners.
Energy in Minds started in May 2005 and ended in May 2010.
