DEAP

Many older detached houses in Finland and Estonia waste heat and power, and even when an energy-performance certificate is available, it overlooks how people live in the home, leaving owners without a complete picture of what would help. Guidance is hard to find because advisory services are scattered and understaffed, making it difficult for residents to get practical, timely advice. Energy advisers spend much of their time chasing basic building and user data instead of delivering expert recommendations. To close this gap, DEAP unites Finnish and Estonian partners around one shared digital doorway to reliable energy advice. At its heart is a straightforward online checklist, supported by plain-language guides, that captures both the home’s technical details and the household’s daily habits and desires in a single session and feeds them into a common web platform.
