The co-design process
Was there a particular moment that stood out during the workshop?
Well, the key moment was when the Mayor expressed his full support for our activities and his belief that with this cooperation they can solve some of the challenges they face. Such as the problem that the inhabitants of the old town of Kastav cannot install photovoltaic plants on their roofs due to the ban of conservators. EZG is a possible solution to this problem.
How did stakeholders respond to the DISCOVER project activities you presented? Did new inputs raise from the discussion?
The mayor and associates recognized the value of our services and tools, so concrete cooperation on the application was agreed. Without Borders will certainly be included in the processes of educating citizens or further planning of the Development of Sustainable Energy Sources in the City.
What ideas, suggestions, or new insights emerged from the discussions?
Partners from the city of Kastav had interesting ideas that it would be desirable to make specific (simple) video instructions that would present the benefits of joining energy communities and the main aspects of calculations enabled by our applications in a simple way.
