The key actions of the project will be to: Recruit and support 500 selected energy poor households across the Outer Hebrides in tackling energy poverty Facilitate the transfer of good practice for the active engagement of vulnerable consumers Reduce energy demand of energy poor households Ensure the involvement of as wide as possible a range of relevant stakeholders Promote structural changes in national policies to specifically address energy Poverty Develop a ‘good practice’ approach for engaging energy poor households on energy-related behaviour change Facilitate the transfer of good practice for the active engagement of vulnerable consumers EnergyMEASURES is based on the premise that reducing energy demand is the most effective and sustainable means of ameliorating fuel poverty. This includes enhancing the energy performance of dwellings through low-cost measures and encouraging more energy-efficient behaviours. We will target energy poor households focused on specific groups, and working with them using tailored approaches and here in the focus is on occupants of owner-occupied houses with a focus on the elderly.
