The document discusses the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) and how living labs can promote user-driven open innovation, especially for technologies related to sustainable energy. It provides examples of living labs that are testing energy solutions like alternative energies, energy conservation in smart homes and buildings, and smart grids. ENoLL aims to create a platform where users, businesses, and governments can collaborate to develop and test new technologies, business models, and services in real-life settings.

10. Serious games, smart technology and conscious behaviour for Sustainable Energy • Rener Living Lab - Alternative Energies (Portugal). a cluster of homes where alternative energy solutions are deployed and their impact is evaluated. • Tampere Living Lab - Energy Conservation (Finland). large clusters of smart homes and buildings that are focused on the conservation of energy . Nokia is heavily involved in the activities of the living lab; 7% early gains • Smart Living Lab - Smart Grids (Germany). power suppliers coupled with private homes which provide additional power generated from renewable resources (bio mass, sun, wind; this is partly funded by German government).
