Experience, preference and challenge sharing platform for house users

House users are not currently able to easily exchange their experiences, challenges, and preferences with respect to the energy systems of their house. They can do it only sometimes individually with the owner, asset manager, or a new user of the house. This project addresses this issue by the design of an online platform/website where house users can share the experiences of the current situation or of an intervention in their energy systems.
This online platform also aims to enable house users to share possible challenges that they may be facing in their house or to communicate their preferences with regard to the energy systems of the house. This platform can provide a useful tool to multiple stakeholders: house tenants, house owners, real-estate agents, researchers, policymakers, etc. It also aims to make the real estate market more informative and transparent, policies for the built environment more inclusive, and to speed up a fair energy transition for all.
