3 The main goals for GIFEM project To monitor of energy consumption: characterize the energy consumption, through its continuous monitoring. To provide the households under study with information regarding their energy consumption profile in order to promote efficient behaviors moving towards the smart houses reality. To share our monitoring network with other projects studying compatible topics. To evaluate the performance of micro-generation equipments in Azorean households: the equipments: photovoltaic, wind energy generators and solar water heating; the outcome: to provide information to energy market to evaluate the economical strengths of micro-generation energy in the Azores. 3

9 Candidates for participation 144 valid records; Mainly S. Miguel and Terceira; Almost a symmetrical distribution of ages, with mode between 25 and 44 years old; Mostly management, specialists, technicians and administrative professions 10

10 Survey for selection criteria definition Public interest in the renewable and energy efficiency theme. Total of 191 records, 188 valid; articles in newspapers Opportunistic sample. Good geographical distribution, similar to island population. Wide range of houses and locations. Wide range of domestic appliances. 40% spend monthly in electricity. Green behavior. Analyses not finished. 11

11 What next? Due to lack of company support the project is now in stand by mode. Pilot in some houses (as much as our own resources allow). Support to other projects: GenAre, net zero schools, net zero farms,... 12
