eTEACHER

O eTEACHER permite que os usuários obtenham economia de energia e melhorem seu conforto / saúde.

eTEACHER is an app that people can use to improve their energy usage. It integrates behavioural change techniques such as gamification (games, challenges, bonus system, energy literacy, energy visibility, etc.) and will facilitate the execution of tailored energy interventions which result in a significantly enhancement of energy efficiency.

The advisor itself relies on different software components in the eTEACHER system and represents the interaction point for the end-user with eTEACHER. It is a cloud-based platform, which receives energy relevant data from different software systems, which are working in the background, not visible to the end user. The advisor presents collected information in a gamified manner to the end user and provides tailored recommendations to improve the energy efficiency. The tailoring can range from tailoring it to the specific apartment as well as to the user himself. At the end, it should help to save money and to reduce the carbon footprint of its users.

eTEACHER is a European project funded by Horizon 2020 (EU Research and Innovation programme) and involves 12 partner organizations active in 6 different European countries. eTEACHER uses ICT solutions to encourage and enable behaviour change of building users towards energy efficiency.
