An energy and environment office is a local association that provides free, impartial information and guidance on energy conservation and utilization of renewable energy sources. At the same time the energy offices initiate many energy and environment activities in their local areas. In 2003 there were 21 energy and environment offices in Denmark. 18 of these were subsidized by the Danish Energy Agency for their educational work on energy and for helping people applying for subsidies on different renewable energy sources from the state. Most of the offices employ one or more energy advisers, who are responsible for the daily work.
The size of the local energy and environment offices ranges from 20 to 500 members. The members are, in addition to households: wind turbine cooperatives, cooperative building societies, firms, farms, folk high schools, etc. A smaller fraction of these are more closely connected to the office, and participate to some extent in the office activities.
The activitics of the local energy and environment offices also depend very much on the location. The city offices are often involved in city ecology projects, as well as water saving and traffic planning are natural tasks. In the country a main work field is utilization of biomass and wind.
The local offices are organized in SEK (Assosiation of Energy and Environment Offices) and work in close cooperation with OVE (Organization for Renewable Energy).
