CLUES Survey of Urban Energy Projects

As part of our work to bring together the various tracks of activity in CLUES, we are inviting people who are involved with urban energy to take part in a survey that aims to enhance understanding of the issues and challenges that they face.

Who should take part?
If you have been involved with projects or policy to develop energy generation, increase energy efficiency in urban areas in the UK, or other activities related to urban energy generation and consumption, then your input will be invaluable. We are particularly interested in hearing from planners, policy makers, and urban designers as well as individuals working in the third sector.

How does it work? 
The survey will be carried out in two stages via a web interface between January and April 2012, with the second stage being based on the results of the first (referred to as Delphi technique). Each stage will require a maximum of half an hour and can be completed at a time convenient to the participant.

What is the research?
The survey is part of the CLUES project (Challenging Lock-in Through Urban Energy Systems), which is combining national and international research to better understand how urban energy systems can contribute to delivering carbon reductions, and disseminating the findings in a way that will assist decision-making. 

How can you take part?
I hope that you will consider taking part. To register, simply enter your name and email address into this Internet form (www.tinyurl.com/urbanenergyclues) by 27th January. If you have any questions about the research, please contact graeme.sherriff@manchester.ac.uk.

Please mention this to colleagues who may be interested in taking part.
