Lübeck's Flip-EC project slashes energy waste in public buildings
A European energy-saving project is moving forward in Lübeck. Flip-EC, funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme, is working to cut energy use in public buildings. The initiative has already gathered input from hundreds of participants across the region. Researchers analysed 926 survey responses, 18 focus groups, and several case studies. Partners from around the Baltic Sea region examined daily energy habits, communication gaps, and teamwork challenges. The findings led to eight key action areas, including clearer roles and better information sharing.
A three-part workshop series took place in Lübeck, bringing together caretakers, teachers, students, and energy experts. The sessions focused on practical solutions—low-cost fixes that could make a real difference. Participants mapped out user experiences and used co-design methods to connect everyday routines with long-term planning. The project ties into Lübeck’s Climate Schools programme, reinforcing local sustainability efforts. Two pilot schemes will test the new approaches in 2026 and 2027, allowing real-world adjustments before wider rollout.
Flip-EC’s next steps involve refining the proposed measures through the upcoming pilots. The project aims to create lasting changes in how public facilities manage energy. Results from Lübeck’s trials will help shape future efforts across the Baltic Sea region.
