The closing and award ceremony for the year-long energy saving campaign called save@work was held on 25 May 2017 in Budapest. The EU funded campaign ran between 1 March 2016 and 28 February 2017, with 19 public buildings and over 2000 employees participating from Hungary. Its most important aim was to reduce the participating buildings' overall energy consumption by changing the employees' everyday practices and behaviour. The national partner was GreenDependent Institute, which provided the expertise and materials, as well as coordinated and organised the Hungarian events.

Are you Involved in a project that seeks to change the way people use and consume energy? Are you promoting energy efficiency and lower energy consumption in households? Whether you are an NGO, an energy agency, a business, or perhaps a group of neighbours or a social club, we would like to hear and learn from you!

Public buildings take part in the save@work campaign, which aims at reducing the buildings' overall energy consumption by changing the employees' everyday practices and behaviour. To be able to measure the impact of the campaign, we conduct surveys both at the beginning and at the end of the year-long competition. The so-called pre-campaign survey was filled in by around 20 % of all employees within the participating buildings of the nine EU countries involved in the project.

19 Hungarian public buildings with over 2000 employees participate in the EU project, called save@work. There was a midterm event on 13 October in Budapest related to project, to which all the Hungarian save@work Energy Teams were invited. The primary aim of the event was to boost the enthusiasm of save@work participants after the summer holidays and beyond the midterm of the competition.
