From awareness to action: empowering Portuguese households in tackling energy efficiency challenges with EcoSeal – problem validation and customer discovery
| Resumo: | This report documents EcoSeal's entrepreneurial journey in developing a Do-It-Yourself inspired energy assessment kit to address home energy inefficiencies, impacting approximately 80% of Portuguese homes. By leveraging the Lean Startup methodology, a solution was developed, refined, and validated to empower families to increase their home’s energy efficiency through accessible tools and practical guidance. EcoSeal discovered that a Do-It Yourself inspired approach resonates with Portugal’s culture of self-reliance and has the potential to lead households from awareness to action. EcoSeal connected with organizations and affected populations to inform kit development, usability, and impact. The results are presented in this work project report. |
