To involve and activate the inhabitants we provide them with the best, independant, energy awakening & saving app in te market.
Long description
We firmly believe energy saving and clean energy challenges will appeal to individual citizens only when we succeed FIRST to bring energy ‘closer to the hearts & minds’ of individuals. Only then we can build more involvement which results in the willingness / desire to actually do something. Most current projects fail becauase they focus on actions / measures such as isolation and solarpanels but lack to do ‘first things first’ … make a connection with the individual person, in his or her everyday habitat. Therefore we provide the inhabitants of the Amsterdam University Quarternwith our SlimWonen App in order to enable them to
- getting aware of and monitor individual energy consumption
- being nudged, challenged on energy savings & options
- connect with neighbors like civilians, companies and the UvA
- start taking the first steps and positive experiences in energy savings and other options
- getting more involved to their neighbourhood
The app ‘smartly’ uses the unique and individual smart meter data to provide its services and create impact. The Binnengasthuis site and its environment is a complex area, combining a large number of functions within a small area. It will thus be crucial to ensure accessibility, liveability, safety and effective communications. The UvA wants to devote a great deal of attention to these four aspects. The app is an unique an innovative tool to contribute strongly to both awareness and clean energy solution adaptation by inhabitants. For example reusing excess heat from University buildings
