Leveraging energy efficiency to combat energy poverty in the EU

As contributors to this policy guide, we are pleased to present a resource that combines the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) with the insights and expertise of the energy efficiency community. Developed in collaboration with a large language model, this document offers a structured, accessible guide rooted in the latest peer-reviewed research and presentations from the eceee Summer Studies.

Our role has been to shape and refine the AI’s output, ensuring that it meets the high standards of our field. This guide highlights the potential of energy efficiencyto address energy poverty – a pressing issue with serious implications for social equity, public health, and environmental sustainability. By leveraging energyefficiency policy to make energy more accessible and affordable, especiallyfor vulnerable communities, we aim to provide policymakers with strategies that reduce energy costs, enhance quality of life, and advance climate resilience.

We hope this AI-assisted guide will serve as a practical, insightful resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners. It exemplifies how AI can complement human expertise, helping us address complex challenges effectively without sacrificing depth or quality. We are grateful for the opportunity to combine innovative technology with the high standards of our field and look forward to seeing how it contributes to advancing energy efficiency policy.

We want to express our gratitude and respect to the authors of the material that has been used for this policy guide.
