WELLBASED

Through the EU-funded WELLBASED project, a team of city practitioners and researchers wants to change the lives of Hans, Maica and so many others. Through research and energy efficiency intervention in pilots like Valencia, but also Leeds (UK), Heerlen (Netherlands), Edirne (Turkey), Jelgava (Latvia) and Obuda (Hungary), the project monitors the impact of different measures for energy poverty on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of participants. Future research will also include cost-effectiveness analysis of the different interventions for energy poverty implemented in these pilot cities.

Some concrete key performance indicators include:

• 7 urban programmes adapted to pilots context
• 1750 people being part of the study, involving 875 people in the intervention group benefitting from support measures (and 875 as part of the control group).

      Regarding measurements:

• 1750 questionnaires every 6 months during 1 year (M0, M6, M12, M18) 
• 180 qualitative interviews on energy poverty and ill-health at different periods
• Temperature, humidity and CO2 sensors data inside pilots households collected during 12 months
