Can a Digital Tool Change How Universities Use Energy?

After gathering valuable insights in WP2, we are now launching WP3: The Habit Tracker Platform – a smart digital tool designed to track and influence energy behaviours in HEIs.

Why is WP3 important?

  • Universities struggle with measuring behavioural change – our new platform will provide real-time data on energy habits.
  • Awareness alone isn’t enough – students and staff need interactive tools to help them commit to long-term sustainable actions.
  • Existing digital energy monitoring is underutilized – our goal is to integrate user-friendly tracking tools into HEI strategies.

How Will the Habit Tracker Work?

  • Track energy consumption trends in real time for HEI communities.
  • Engage students and staff with personalized challenges and sustainability goals.
  • Provide universities with concrete data on how small actions influence long-term energy savings.
  • Encourage behaviour change through gamification and incentive-based programs.

The Habit Tracker will be tested in HEIs across Europe – we’ll be sharing insights from its development and pilot phase soon! Stay tuned as we take a major step toward digital-driven sustainability!
