HABIT TRACKER PLATFORM

The Habit Tracker Platform is an innovative webapp allowing different kinds of users from the university community (students, academic and administrative staff) of partner universities to track their habits related to energy consumption based on four basic habit categories:

1) Mobility

2) Heating & Cooling

3) Electricity Usage and

4) Water Consumption

It further provides an overall rating of the sustainability of their behaviours, complemented by useful tips & tricks to improve habits towards more sustainable behaviour.

ROADMAP

The ABCinEnergy Roadmap is built on a comprehensive overview of sustainability and energy strategies across partner universities, reflecting their institutional expertise and national contexts. By analysing practices in Austria, France, Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, and Spain, the report identifies key patterns in energy-saving behaviours and policies within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). These insights form the basis for a unified, evidence-based approach to integrating sustainability and energy-related KPIs in line with national and European objectives. The roadmap development follows four main steps – examining policy contexts, identifying best practices and challenges, assessing existing KPIs and data, and formulating a consortium-wide strategy – supported by harmonised templates for consistent data collection and analysis.

TRAINING MATERIAL

To support the use of the Habit Tracker Platform, dedicated training materials were developed for two target groups: Higher Education Institution managers and the wider university community of students, academic, and administrative staff.

For managers, the training focuses on analysing energy KPIs through the platform, designing engagement campaigns, scaling best practices from partner institutions, and using data and stakeholder feedback to strengthen institutional sustainability strategies.

For students and staff, the training helps users reflect on their own energy habits, use the platform to monitor and improve daily behaviour, apply successful sustainability actions in their own context, and actively contribute to campus-wide sustainability initiatives through collaboration and peer engagement.

These materials are complemented by a presentation outlining best practices from all participating partner universities in Austria, France, Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, and Spain.
