Energy and Climate Changes Energia e Alterações Climáticas

The Quercus Foundation has worked for several years in the area of energy and climate change as a part of their global interest in issues related to environmental care. Its intervention is based on the environmental education of citizens and monitoring public policies. “The goal of the program is to evaluate the real capacities of families to lower energy use with concrete activities (energy efficiency of buildings) and by changing habits (promotion of the rational use of energy). There are three phases: 1) 30 families from Lisboa, Oeiras e Sintra, 2005 to 2006; 2) 225 family units from Portugal, 2007; 3) 1000 families from Portugal, 2009-2011.
