Sally Blackwell, Executive Officer of the Energy Efficiency Community Network (EECN), discusses community engagement projects. Sally gives a bottom-up perspective to behaviour change with an example of a community engagement project that the EECN has been running: the ‘Home Energy Advice Centre’. The results from an assessment of the impact this advice was actually having on participants are provided. In particular, this assessment highlighted that community groups, such as the EECN, are the most preferred type of organisation for households to receive advice from.
