A detailed report was made about the results and outcome of the ENERGISE project. During the project, the potential of reducing energy consumption of households was investigated in the scope of so-called 'living laboratories' or 'living labs'. 41 households from the town of Gödöllő (Hungary) participated in the project, half of them individually, while the other half in a community form. During the ENERGISE Living Labs, participants were asked to meet two challenges for one month, respectively; (1) to reduce the number of washing cycles, (2) to reduce the daily indoor temperature of their homes. During the challenges, households were asked to fill in diaries as well as questionnaries about their results, experiences and difficulties. Following the challenges, GreenDependent analysed data, and the outcome of the Living Labs was shared at a closing event in the spring 2019.
