European ICT network for energy efficiency (ICT21-EE)
The project:
"European ICT network for energy efficiency" (ICT21-EE) is co-financed
by the European Commission under
ICT Policy Support Programme
(part of Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme) for a
period of 30 months.
Fedarene as a partner
of the project will be mainly involved in the working group number 3:
Using ICT to influence users behaviour towards energy efficiency and
will also contribute to the development of the project's online
database.
The ICT21-EE project aims at federating a wide
variety of stakeholders initially from 10 European countries to
develop common understanding of good practices in the field of ICT
applied to energy efficiency in cities. The approach will focus on
what has been done and what can be done in urban areas, places where
the issue of energy efficiency is particularly crucial. The concept
and reality of sustainable cities will be discussed and challenged
through three working groups and the creation of a social network
and best practices platform.
The
working groups will gather public and private stakeholders operating in
the field of policy making, applied research and products conception
around three topics:
1.
ICT for energy efficiency in buildings,
2.
ICT for energy
efficiency in transportation
3.
ICT as catalyst of change in user behaviours.
The scope of the
project will therefore go from best practice promotion - i.e. selection
of case studies to identify appropriate technologies to be implemented
and to measure energy savings - to strategy thinking and writing with
the view to contributing to the new i2010 strategy for sustainable
growth.
Key partners:
Stakeholders from public and private sectors are participating to the
network. As they come from ten European countries and gather more
than 1000 towns/cities, 21 corporations, 43 regional and local
organisations which implement, co-ordinate and facilitate energy and
environment policies, from all over Europe, the overall objective to
define strategies and to promote good practices and policy debate at the
European level for the wider possible audience should be adequately met.
