- Identifying and optimising existing Information flows to maximise Awareness and Management opportunities for Energy use and Green House Gas emissions reduction (SMART 2010/0041)
-
(Deadline: 04/06/2010) The proposed study will identify practical mechanisms to realise the EU's Vision 2020 of a low carbon, connected economy by directly addressing the "information deficit" in the fields of energy efficiency and carbon footprint management. Today, even where more and better information is beginning to be generated (e.g. carbon footprinting and accounting by certain progressive firms) this information is not being made available usefully in the daily lives of consumers and other economic actors to inform and make possible substantive behavioural change individually or in the market. This "information transparency" remains a sine qua non for meeting the 2020 targets on energy efficiency and Green House Gas emissions reduction.
