Thus, while an attempt was made to recruit a socio-economically diverse group of participants, the two ELLs had a similar make-up in terms of household types. The final number of households participating in the ENERGISE Living Labs in Hungary was 41. Out of this number 21 participated in ELL1 and 20 in ELL2. It is notable that all 41 households remained engaged in the ELLs up until the end. This report provides a summary of the qualitative and quantitative data as well as a country-level analysis of outcomes.

The overall aim of Work Package 2 is to develop a theoretically rich yet practicable model of the sociotechnical change involved in energy demand-side management programmes. The project focuses ...

This requires a close understanding of the role of end-users and their needs and practices. Our paper is based on a EU FP7 project called CHANGING BEHAVIOUR and focuses on interaction between energy users and managers of projects to change energy use. It draws on two sets of data: a meta-analysis of previous more and less successful projects to change energy use, and a set of ongoing pilot projects in different parts of Europe. We present some of our insights gained in trying to find improved, yet practical, ways for energy efficiency practitioners to interact with energy endusers. Large projects and programmes can build on extensive, dedicated research on the needs and practices of the target group. Small, local projects rarely have this possibility, but they have other advantages. We identified a number of ways in which small local projects learned ...
