Abstract

This paper introduces an innovative system for quantifying and enhancing individual engagement in sustainable energy consumption behaviors that support the energy transition goals set by the European energy policy. Focusing on residential energy use and transportation, the study proposes an innovative labelling system that monitors and evaluates personal energy habits, linking them to CO2 emissions and energy demand reductions. The algorithm, developed using publicly available data from reputable sources, is tailored for application across the 27 EU member states and the UK, facilitating meaningful regional comparisons. The paper outlines the design methodology, algorithm development, and insights from a peer review involving 12 international experts, along with feedback from over 1450 users across Europe. By providing an accessible, data-driven framework, this research fosters citizen engagement in the energy transition, contributing to sustainable development goals and advancing global sustainability initiatives.
