Enoll _logo _trasp .2014 participation in the "Energy Lab ViLLabLiving For Sustainable Development" project, (www.energyvillab.eu): a vast laboratory which aims to promote the development of virtuous behavior in energy use.

The project EnergyViLLab (Energy Virtuous Living Lab), funded under the Program for Cross-Border Cooperation between Italy and Slovenia 2007-2013, is coordinated by Unioncamere Veneto - EIC, in order to make the cross-border area a place of good practices and a network of Living Labs that develop virtuous behavior related to RRM applications:

• RES (Renewable Energy Sources): renewable energy sources;

• RUE (Rationale Use of Energy): rational use of energy;

• MOB (Sustainable Mobility System): sustainable mobility.

The Province of Treviso has been officially recognized for the Living Lab project Green Schools as a new member ENoLL (European Network of Living Labs) during the "8th Wave Welcoming Ceremony" of the International Conference World Living Lab (Amsterdam, September 5, 2012).

To be member in the network ENoLL (http://www.openlivinglabs.eu/) could be a development opportunity thanks to discussion and exchange of views with people who have been able to accrue a great deal of experiences in other contexts and countries.
