The local action plans and energy planning tools will be tested in pilot projects. 

• Aberdeen: renovation of a school to become more energy efficient and at the same time, increasing the energy efficiency awareness of students and their parents;

• Rotterdam: development of new cooperation models between public and private sector to make public buildings less energy consuming. These models will be applied to swimming pools and smart roofs in Rotterdam;

• Ludwigsburg: building of an energy neutral community centre in a socially and economic weak district in Ludwigsburg, where local residents will be informed on energy reductive measures;

• Montreuil: building of an energy generating school building. Local residents and students will be involved and informed during the whole building process;

• Ghent: developing a participation project to receive support from the users and inhabitants of the city. Besides, Ghent will do a major pilot of the GIS support tool by proclaiming the energy saving message during several events.
