The project “Power Saving Check goes Citizens” supports the European climate protection goals by reducing energy and water consumption and lowering CO₂ emissions in private households and public buildings. It promotes sustainable behavior and the circular economy through targeted adult education and digital tools, while actively involving citizens in climate action. A key focus is supporting low-income households by helping them save energy and reduce costs.
