What is an Energy Day?

Energy days can be any event or happening to promote energy efficiency or renewable energy – from exhibitions, conferences, online events, performances to guided tours, open door days, workshops, media campaigns, concerts and much more…
In line with the EUSEW 2011 main theme, events addressing energy efficiency matters are particularly welcome but also events addressing renewable energy qualify to be an Energy Day.
