Roundtable on energy sufficiency:
How to reduce energy use in our buildings and cities
Spazio Europa - European Public Space Via IV Novembre n°149 - 00187 Roma Wednesday, 11 April 2018 – 14:30 – 18:00
Eceee, the European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy and Kyoto Club invite you to this workshop which is part of eceee’s energy sufficiency project, funded primarily by the KR Foundation, with additional support from a number of European energy and research agencies.
The energy sufficiency project will eventually produce a series of policy briefings, offering policy makers practical information about energy sufficiency and how they can translate this into policy action to reduce energy use. The 11 April 2018 workshop is intended to inform about some of the work we have already done, looking at how we think about sufficiency as a concept and about how energy sufficiency actions can reduce energy use in buildings. We would also like to hear your reactions to this work and your ideas on the – different and complementary - roles of technical energy efficiency improvements and energy sufficiency actions in planning future buildings and cities.
The discussions at the workshop – English will be the working language - will be written up as a publicly available report, and will also help us to develop further our policy ideas in this area. Participants will be sent a briefing in due course explaining more about the project and introducing our findings so far.
