To be or not to be ENGAGED
final remarks
•   Feedbacks are very useful to
    engage in energy
    conservation practices
    the more frequent the monitoring,
       greater the savings


•   Engaging citizens give
    access to “data”

•   Communication activities
    project can help research -
    “Collaborative science”
    approach
Thank you!
