Energy is now part of everyone’s daily life, but it is not tangible. Still, it has an impact on our wallets and our environment. To be able to drive the change and participate in the green transition, citizens should gain an understanding of energy and climate change so that they
a) can and want to make a difference
b) know what they can do and
c) know how their actions have an impact.
Any new action should be integrated into the natural way of doing things, effortlessly and easily in everyday life.
To do this, a tool is needed to measure, demonstrate, explain, remind and communicate the impact of different actions.

With the Hackathon, ENERGY SOLUTIONS FOR PEOPLE-TURKU RESPONSE HACKATHON 2023, we are searching for digital solutions, which would get people thinking about energy issues and monitoring the impact of their behavior.
The solution can use gamification, social media, AR, VR, or MR technologies, 3D models, 360 images, etc. Most importantly, the new solution should encourage residents to monitor and pay attention to their energy consumption, help change consumption habits, demonstrate and visualize the impact of different actions, and engage and activate individual and collective action.
