Energy is an essential pillar for any economy. In Europe, energy consumption has been gaining prominence as energy costs increase, especially in the most consuming sectors such as transport, industry and buildings. The residential sector accounts, on average, for more than a quarter of total final energy consumption, making it a key sector for the energy transition. In line with several recent policies and strategies, many European countries have created methods to implement on-site measures that help the population and ensure a fair energy transition, encourage the improvement of energy performance on residential buildings and reduce the population's vulnerability to energy poverty. This thesis's objectives consist of developing a methodological approach to study the implementation of an energy efficiency One-Stop Shop to address energy poverty. This approach consists of implementing a mobile One-Stop Shop for Energy Efficiency in two locations in Setúbal, Portugal, using twelve simple steps. This mobile unit, made from a used shipping container for portability, allows users to concentrate all relevant information needed to help users reduce their energy bills and to improve energy efficiency at home. Approximately six months after the implementation and after analysing the data collected by the survey, it was possible to verify that users from the target group were the most difficult to reach. A higher incidence of middle-class users seeking public funding was registered, rather than users in more severe energy poverty situations per se. The majority of the surveyed population had an interest in renovating their homes to improve their energy efficiency, but were looking for available governmental grants to help with investment costs.
