… programmes.Based on work already carried out in Task 24 to date, the IEA DSM programme has created a different ‘model of understanding’ of the energy system and its actors that offers a pragmatic approach proposed to further improve the co-creation of knowledge, learning, sharing and translation into practice among practitioners in the energy field. SEAI is joining the task at this point.The main objective of this Task is to take good theory into practice to allow Behaviour Changers from government, industry, intermediaries, research and the third sector to:— Engage in an international expert network.— Develop the top 3 DSM priorities to identify the most (politically, technologically, economically and societally) appropriate DSM themes on which to focus.— Identify and engage countries' networks in the 5 Behaviour Changers sectors for at least one of the top 3 DSM themes to co-create their Behaviour Changer Framework to collectively work on this problem.— Use and test a Collective Impact Approach to develop shared methodologies, guidelines and a common ‘language’ based on narratives to aid Behaviour Changers' decision-making of how to choose the best models of understanding behaviour and theories of change and how to best measure the many multiple benefits of energy efficiency and DSM.— Standardise how to evaluate behaviour change programmes ‘Beyond kWh’ and ‘Beyond Energy’ including multiple benefits analysis.— Collate national learnings into an overarching (international) story to understand, compare and contrast the different behaviour change approaches, risks and opportunities and which recommendations can be universally applied.SEAI requires a service provider to provide support in the development and implementation of Task 24 for Ireland.

— Develop the top 3 DSM priorities to identify the most (politically, technologically, economically and societally) appropriate DSM themes on which to focus.
