“Spend less
on energy and more on yourself” was the motto of the “Energy Efficiency” roadshow, promoted by the European
Commission. After passing through the Czech Republic, Romania and Greece, on
September 27, an interactive truck arrived in Portugal and count on FEEdBACk to
help the Portuguese families to reduce their electricity bills.
In
Portugal, one of the countries where more energy is consumed per inhabitant,
the initiative was launched in Lisbon and marked by the official opening of the
itinerant exhibition named “Energy Efficiency”. This exhibition consisted on a
truck, which simulated a “home” with interactive walls and educational
activities related to energy consumption.
The truck
was opened to the public at Gare do Oriente (Lisbon), between September 27 and
October 1, and continued to Gomes Teixeira Square (Porto), where it stayed from
October 4 to 8.
During this
period, in Porto, thousands of people had the opportunity to enjoy the exhibition and get
to know the FEEdBACk, which counted with a stand inside the truck. There, some
INESC TEC’s members were present to show to the visitors how the project will
promote more energy-efficient behaviours.
After Porto (Portugal) and Lippe (Germany), it was Barcelona's turn to launch the gamification platform on its pilot.
