AURORA app

The final version of the app will be launched by month 15, three months after the launch of the beta version. Since this deliverable is a software it will be automatically updated as the T2.4 is running.

Documents, reports (8)

Creating AURORA Ambassadors for sustainable energy behaviours: Interventions developed and linked impact. Final version

This deliverable will comment on the actions developed under all tasks of WP4 to motivate people towards a major awareness and action in favour the climate action. In addition, T1.3 will feed this deliverable reporting the feedback obtained from citizens to evaluate what actions have been more useful to change their behaviours and outcomes from debates on what type of interventions should be promoted next.

Report on the business models to follow-up by the different local energy communities

This document will contain a review on the plausible business models according to the bibliographic review and the final models that will work in each location.

On the use of AURORA app and environmental monitoring. Final version

INSCICO will detail how the new tool developed by AURORA has served to monitor the environmental impacts on energy behaviours, explaining also the different strategies to continuous engagement of citizens through the app.

Guide and recommendations for end-users and policy-makers on the duly promotion, creation, implementation and management of energy communities as a behavioural change tool for climate action, sustainable development and environmental protection

This guide is expected to be a reference for the implementation of the European Energy Awareness demonstrator in different locations. It will summarize the actions carried out and the results obtained as well as a set of recommendations for key actors – users and policy makers - according to the feedback that AURORA will obtain from our participants.

Technical and Social features of an app devoted to inform citizens on their environmental impact related to energy choices. Final version

The last version will make corrections or will improve technical details of the app implementation. As long as usability tests are coming and bugs are fixed the app will be updated, such information will be included in the last report to update the technical description of the app.

State of the art of energy mix, citizens' behaviours and environmental impacts of 5 European Communities

This deliverable will cover the energy behaviour monitoring carried out during 6 months by citizens in different locations. The state of the art will serve to have a global picture on the local patterns to better plan the interventions.

Near-Zero Emission Citizens Label

A report describing the premises and methodology used to create the proposed labelling system. It will include reports and comments from 12 European experts about the label.

Report on the creation and exploitation of local energy facilities. Final version

This report will detail the technical characteristics of the solar facilities launched by each local community, a detail on the monitoring system and the planning towards round robin characterization - to analyse degradation, ageing, energy yield, etc.- during and after the end of the project.
