SUMMARY:Pilot 8 Social Acceptance - Second Workshop with the energy community Polygones
DESCRIPTION:Building on the insights gathered during the November workshop\, Pilot 8 reunited with the Polygones community in Meyrin on 29 April for a second participatory session\, this time moving from exploration to concrete co-design. \nWhile the first event focused on understanding how citizens perceive local energy communities\, this session translated those insights into action. Working directly alongside residents\, the team co-designed two tangible versions of a flexible energy application: one tailored for personal household use and another designed for shared community spaces. \n \nParticipants explored which functionalities would make the application genuinely useful in their daily lives\, not only from a technical perspective but also in a way that is intuitive and aligned with real habits. A key theme emerged strongly: residents want to know that the small efforts they make\, such as shifting their laundry to off-peak hours when the grid is under strain or renewable production is expected to increase\, translate into a real and measurable environmental impact\, while ideally also generating savings on their energy bills. \nThe session also marked an important milestone in the co-creation process\, as an early-stage prototype was tested directly in context through a usability evaluation. This hands-on exercise allowed both the team and participants to experience the application’s value firsthand\, gather feedback quickly\, and begin moving towards a solution that truly reflects community needs. \nThe results reinforced a central conviction of Pilot 8: a meaningful energy transition happens when residents are not merely consulted but become active partners in shaping the tools they will ultimately use.
