Triple-A

Stimulating the Adoption of low- carbon technologies by home-owners through increased Awareness and easy Access

The Triple-A project accelerates the Adoption of low-carbon technologies by transnational cooperation between local authority partners, who face the common challenge to stimulate home-owners to adopt low-carbon technologies. Jointly they develop and implement a (Triple-A) method that increases Awareness of low-carbon technologies among home-owners and simultaneously secures easy Access to technologies that fit their needs and resources.

Within the Triple A-project local and regional authorities from Belgium (Antwerpen, Mechelen, Ostend), France (PSEE Picardie), the Netherlands (Breda, Rotterdam) and the United Kingdom (Kent County Council) join forces to encourage home-owners in making their existing single-family homes more sustainable and thus reduce their energy consumption. They are supported by 2 universities (TU Delft and Ghent University), and by a Belgian utility (Eandis/ Fluvius).

Main research outputs of the project are ICT solutions, home energy monitoring system testing, concepts for collaborative actions, and for the use of demonstration exemplars to increase the adoption of low-carbon technologies.
