2. WP3 – Joint approach for more efficient implementation of local energy strategies LEAD PARTNER: AREANATejo has extensive experience in implementation and consulting in energy efficiency for public organizations. MAIN TAKS: Prepare the common model for comparison of existing approaches, a template scheme for the overview of existing approaches and assist partners in preparation of their overviews. Lead the creation of transnational expert working groups, prepare a template for collecting existing models and contribute existing models and knowledge to the database of existing models, best practices, methodologies and indicators. Organize the workshops for partners and coordinate the organization of study visits. Prepare the draft structure of the step-by-step guide, identify suitable topics and solutions for the guide.

3. WP3 – Joint approach for more efficient implementation of local energy strategies • EXPECTED RESULTS: • Strengthen the implementation of local public policies and strategies related to energy efficiency in cities and regions. • New approach, common guidelines and solutions regarding the implementation of local energy strategies by forming local partnerships. • Improve awareness and habits / long-term change in behavior for greener cities.
