ENERGISE Living Lab country report _ Netherlands

ENERGISE Living Labs (ELLs) employ practice-based approaches to reduce energy use in households while co-creating knowledge on why energy-intensive practices are performed and how they depend on the context in which they are performed. Altogether 16 living labs were implemented in eight European countries in 2018.

The Dutch ELLs were led by the ENERGISE team from Maastricht University, in Maastricht in the Netherlands. The ENERGISE Living Labs were implemented in the Southern most province in the Netherlands, Limburg – in two municipalities. Maastricht for ELL1 and Roermond for ELL2, the community-based ELL. Participants were recruited with the help of a local implementation partner Op het Zuiden.
