About
The ESTEEM tool is an outcome of a European Research Project called Create Acceptance (EU/DG Energy/FP7 Contract n° 518351 see www.createacceptance.net).
Our objective in this project was to develop a methodology and a set of tools that would facilitate societal acceptance of renewable energy projects and projects on the rational use of energy practices. The target group of the methodology are the project managers managing the new energy projects.
