The Energy Efficiency project is a joint project by Brussels Capital Region, CROSSTALKS and Flanders District of Creativity with VITO, UGENT, IBBT as structural partners and 3E and BURO II as supporting partners.

Crucial in this project is the bottom-up approach and cross-disciplinary method of developing a long term vision on the necessity of energy efficiency at any level of a global and ecological oriented society.
