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
