- Active Engagement of 72 public authorities involved as partners in the project
- 176 buildings with 17280 public sector employees participating in the project
- 809 Energy Team Members trained
- development of an online calculation tool for visualizing the energy use and savings of each building, available in 9 languages
- Implementation of Green Clicks, an online tool to engage with employees to help change their energy behaviours at their workstation – it included (1) Awareness raising and identification of the potential to improve the energy behaviour, (2) Individual information on energy saving measures in the activity areas of the employees and (3) Evaluation of the adopted behaviour and feedback to the employees; available in 9 languages.
- Training on the tools
- Energy Data evaluation
- Development of promotional and educational material: handbooks, Energy saving tips, starter kits, poster, flyer
- Workshops with energy teams and energy checks for each building. Based upon these, development of action plans for each building
- Final national events and Final European Event for awarding participants in 3 categories (high-est energy savings, best campaign and best action plans)
- Pre-survey and post-survey among participating employees (response rate 17.2% and 11.9%) to analyse the success and impact of the project for methodology
- Media Dissemination activities
MAIN RESULTS
• Saving Results: compared to their previous consumption (using the previous 3 years as a base-line) the project participants saved in average 5,8% energy , in total 6.5 Million kWh, 1783 t CO2 and 416.575 €.
• Improved energy literacy: 133 initial workshops were held at the beginning of the campaign, providing training to 165 energy teams. In total, more than 800 persons were trained with the workshops. 17280 employees were reached by the project activities. They received constant in-formation on energy saving (energy saving tips, green clicks tool, specialist lectures, etc). In addition, as revealed by the post-campaign survey where 82% of the respondents claimed that they were inspired by save@work to engage in further activities, for example, start energy saving activities at home or invest in energy efficiency in their homes or talk about energy saving to their family or friends. The impact of this project, therefore, reaches beyond just the campaign participants, as important spill-over effects for energy saving activities at home took place.
• 145 action plans were compiled for the participating buildings identifying energy saving measures and activities to motivate and inform colleagues on energy savings.
• 8 Strategy Papers for each country on future activities after the project lifetime in each participating municipality/region have been compiled in cooperation with the public authorities.
• A concept for engaging public sector employees that proofed to be successful and can be re-applied in the future. The strategy as well as the campaign material can be re-applied by further public and private organisations.
• Based on a comprehensive evaluation that was run among the participating employees and the coordinating partners an evaluation report that includes valuable input for future projects in the field of energy awareness raising campaigns
