Aims

The aims of Eco n'Home were to achieve:

- significant savings in energy use and carbon emissions in dwellings and in travel

- an average of 10 - 20% reduction in energy per household

- an average of 1 tonne reduction in emissions per household, at least half to come from transportation

- progress in energy and climate policy delivery in member states and particularly Directives on Energy Services, Building Performance, Kyoto obligations


Objectives for achieving these aims were to...

- develop a new, innovative and effective approach to sustainable energy advice for households

- demonstrate and improve this approach in a representative sample of over 850 households

- produce a common, transferrable methodology to enable easy replication by any organisation, in any country, and at any level

- achieve a sustained and sustainable change in household attitudes and behaviour toward energy saving, energy efficiency, renewable and low carbon energy types, and on climate change

- experiment with white certificates in the domestic sector

- involve a wide target audience of energy and policy actors in delivery and dissemination
