چکیده

It is becoming increasingly important to create a sustainable environment. One important step is to reduce the energy consumption. In Europe, 25% of the energy used is consumed by private households. How energy is produced and consumed in different European countries varies a lot, thus it is hard to develop general solutions based on country-specific traits. The aim of this paper is to describe an approach to cross-country development of an energy savings solution. This paper reports on the usage of a method based on collecting users needs related to their current energy consumption, the actions they can take, and the possible future solutions they want to see.
