Summary
Together with a team, the aim is to ensure that concrete measures are made available to the target group of vulnerable people.Detailed description
Smart Energy Savers Team (SEST)
There are currently different types of measures to aid the most vulnerable groups, but it is still quite a challenge to get some measures to the target group. One of the barriers is language, but also the multitude of options.
We organize events in several languages throughout The Hague, to ensure that knowledge about sustainability spreads. We hold events with people from different backgrounds to raise awareness of different means of sustainability. For example, there is the radiator fan that can stimulate circulation through the home. There are also other small measures, such as energy meters and radiator foil, that we want to distribute to the target group.
With the Smart Energy Savers Team, we want to commit ourselves to making a start in the process of sustainability in community centers by applying small measures in the most visisted communal areas and offices so that heat is distributed better/faster. In an environment where low literacy is sometimes a challenge for campaigns, we hope to show concretely what is available in terms of small measures.
Support projects:
- 'Keep your home and the father center warm'. Support of the existing project, to install radiator fans at residents home.
- We want to stimulate an inclusive energy transition, which is why we remain active in several community centers and give presentations.

- Conducting short conversations to identify necessary measures and to transfer knowledge;
