EVALUATE is a multi-sited study, involving extensive research across a
variety of cities and countries. Focusing primarily on four Central and
Eastern European cities (Budapest, Gdańsk, Prague and Skopje) the project
has undertaken a customized survey with 2435 households, supplemented
with insights from in-depth household interviews, ‘energy diaries’
and energy efficiency audits in the homes of approximately 160 households
living in the four cities. EVALUATE has entailed 195 expert interviews
in a much wider range of sites across the world, as well as an analysis
of micro-data from national and European Union surveys of energy poverty.
It has led to more than 200 dissemination activities, while laying the
basis for the European Energy Poverty Observatory as well as a new
European Co-operation for Science and Technology Action on ‘European
Energy Poverty: Agenda Co-Creation and Knowledge Innovation’
