·      Explain why behavioural science is useful for promoting energy-efficient behaviour.

·      Describe four common intervention types, such as nudges, prompts, feedback, and commitment strategies.

·      Choose the right approach by matching intervention methods to real-world local or regional challenges.

·   Explain why collaboration and partnerships are critical for successful energy behaviour initiatives.

·   Identify at least three types of stakeholders to involve in behavioural change projects.

·   Design a basic stakeholder map showing roles, influence, and potential contributions.

·   Propose engagement methods that foster trust, co-ownership, and long-term collaboration.

·   Describe the role of storytelling and advocacy in promoting energy-efficient behaviours.

·   Develop a clear and compelling narrative tailored to a specific audience.

·   Apply basic storytelling techniques (e.g., framing, relatable characters, positive messaging) to an energy efficiency case.

·   Critically assess advocacy messages for clarity, resonance, and persuasiveness.

·     Recognize key challenges and opportunities for behaviour change across at least three different sectors (e.g., households, transport, public sector).

·     Compare sector-specific behavioural drivers and barriers.

·     Select appropriate behavioural interventions suited to sectoral contexts.

·     Suggest cross-sectoral approaches that combine multiple benefits (e.g., energy savings + health + community value).

·   Explain the concept of cultural change in sustaining energy efficiency behaviour.

·   Identify strategies to build community ownership and long-term commitment.

·   Design at least one participatory activity (e.g., co-creation workshop, local challenge) to strengthen engagement.

·   Assess how social norms and peer influence can be leveraged to maintain behavioural shifts.

• Outline the key steps in rolling out a behavioural intervention from design to implementation.
• Apply project management tools to track tasks, timelines, and responsibilities.
• Anticipate common challenges (e.g., low participation, resource limits) and propose mitigation strategies.
• Monitor progress through simple performance indicators.

·    Explain why impact measurement is essential for scaling and sustaining behaviour change initiatives.

·    Select appropriate methods and indicators for measuring outcomes and behavioural impact.

·    Apply basic cost-benefit or return-on-investment reasoning to energy efficiency projects.

·    Identify potential financing options (e.g., grants, public-private partnerships, ESCO models) to sustain and scale activities.
