ADUHME, Association for a Harmonious Urban Development through Energy Management

Introduction

ADUHME, Association for a Harmonious Urban Development through Energy Management, was officially created in June 1996. The association was created by the municipality of Clermont-Ferrand and ADEME Auvergne with financial support from the European Commission.

Description

One of ADUHME’s objectives is to provide households with information on the potential energy savings they can achieve in their everyday life. The role of the energy eco-ambassadors is to “sell” energy management directly to the inhabitants, especially in sensitive areas, by informing, providing assistance and raising awareness of households in difficulties.
