WHY BEHAVIOUR IS RELEVANT?
• No heavy investments needed • Fast • Applicable in all kinds of buildings • Can decrease energy usage which is
otherwise difficult to decrease
Hackathon?an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development and hardware development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers, collaborate intensively on software projects.

Incentives
MINDSPACE
Our responses to incentives are shaped by predictable mental shortcuts such as strongly avoiding losses.
WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION?
”Social pressure works best, indicating your state against others.”
”Timing is important, for instance hitting them with something salient (e.g. visible, visual, info-visual…).”
”Broadly use two classes of incentives: financial and social. Perhaps even more important, make the default actions those that are
positive ones, ie. nudge people to the right direction.”
GOAL: Create a solution/intervention tool /campaign which generates sustainable behavior and can be built fast
1. Listen. 2. Involve. 3. Be there. 4. Dare. 5. Beat the perfectionist. 6. Co-create: theory, knowledge & practice 7. Build a scope.

Space useHow can we by changing user behavior and habits, decrease the space used in an office?
Energy efficiency behavioural change hackathon #behaviourhack
Space heatingThe largest part of the energy use in an office building is used for space heating.
Energy efficiency behavioural change hackathon #behaviourhack
50 %It is a common problem that office spaces are over-heated. In summer excessive cooling and air-conditioning use unnecessary energy. Could user habit changes make a difference to this problem. Probably if for example the users’ opinions were taken
Transportation + parking lots
By decreasing private car use also less parking lots and inside parking is needed.
Energy efficiency behavioural change hackathon #behaviourhack
Transportation also uses a lot of energy. This is not directly connected to the energy use in buildings, but by decreasing the amount of private car use, also less parking lots, and inside parking, is needed. This enables the space usually
