Information and technical capacity development

This group of interventions includes those focusing on providing information and technical capacity on energy efficiency with two broad objectives. Firstly, it includes interventions that enable people, companies and government agencies to acquire necessary technical skills and knowledge (i.e. capacity building, energy audits) to adopt energy-efficient technologies and behaviours. Second, it  also includes interventions that use the information to nudge people, companies and government agencies to change their behaviours and use less energy, for example by providing them with more information on the potential benefits (i.e. education, peer-comparison, feedback) of certain behaviours.
