“Energy Neighbourhoods” is a residential energy saving programme for small groups of 5-10 households (families, friends, colleagues, etc.) who compete to save the largest amount of energy only through changing their behaviour and everyday consumption patterns. Each group is supported by a volunteer adult coordinator, a so-called “Energy Master”, who supports the activities of the groups, organises meetings, and motivates members. The small groups, or EnergyNeighbourhoods are also supported by GreenDependent Institute who provides them with professional advice, brochures, saving tips, and training for coordinators to more efficiently reduce consumption.
