The EU-DREAM project, a European project dedicated to pioneering next-generation energy services, solutions, and products that genuinely benefit consumers, is launching a survey to explore consumer needs, motivations, and challenges related to the flexibility and controllability of household appliances. This feedback is vital in shaping innovative, consumer-driven energy solutions.
EU-DREAM focuses on improving consumer interaction with the energy market. It aims to simplify complex energy management processes and enhance customer awareness, trust, and confidence through the introduction of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)–based assistant and a Natural Language Processing (NLP) intermediary.
“At EU-DREAM, we believe that the key to a successful energy transition lies in understanding and addressing consumer needs. This survey is a crucial step in gathering the insights necessary to develop smarter, more consumer-focused energy solutions,” said João Catalão, full professor, Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto (Portugal) and project coordinator at EU-DREAM.
“Your participation will help us create solutions that not only simplify energy management but also build trust and confidence among consumers.”
Why Participate in the survey?
— Influence Research: Insights will contribute to the EU-DREAM project, impacting scientific papers, project deliverables, and public communications.
— Anonymity Guaranteed: Responses will remain anonymous—no personal data will be disclosed.
— Quick and Easy: The survey takes only 15 minutes to complete!
What to Expect in the Survey?
The questionnaire is divided into three main sections:
— Personal/Demographic Information: To understand consumer backgrounds.
— Appliances’ Controllability: How consumers interact with and manage their household appliances.
— Barriers and Enablers: Factors that support or hinder participation in energy flexibility solutions.
The survey is available in nine different languages (English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish) at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/eudream?lang=en.
