Treeps
Trees is a mobile application fostering “sufficient holidays”—those involving closer destinations and ground-based travel—by leveraging behavioural science, Generative AI, and peer-to-peer social media engagement. Grounded in the behaviour change Model of Action Phases (MAP) and a co-design workshop with young adults living in Southern Switzerland.

Mountain Tourism Fresco
Mountain Tourism Fresco is a participatory serious game, workshop, and facilitation tool developed within the SWEET Lantern project. Its purpose is to support awareness-raising, dialogue, and collective reflection on the climate impacts of mountain tourism. Using a visual map, thematic cards, personas, and interactive discussion, the tool helps participants understand the links between tourism activities, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change effects in mountain areas, and possible mitigation and adaptation pathways

Gridly
It is a local electricity market modelling tool, based on the Swiss vZEV framework. It allows users to design a local electricity community (LEC) by choosing the size of the community (number of buildings), the percentage of members that are able to shift some of their load (apply a small degree of demand side management), the percentage of members that have PV generation and whether the members with PV also have a battery or not

Sustainability Persona Cards
Representing the latest research on sustainability-relevant lifestyles, we developed a toolkit with practical instruments that support designing, targeting, and implementation of effective sustainability interventions. By combining an evidence-based lifestyle typology with decision support and co-creation methods, the toolkit assists policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in developing tailored sustainability interventions addressing the specific preferences, needs, and capabilities of the different lifestyle types in the Swiss population.

Morphological box for energy cooperations
HSLU Morphological Box for Energy Cooperation is a tool that enables groups of various stakeholders – energy experts from industry or administration, homeowners and the public, academics – within a co-creation / living lab process to analyse specific neighbourhoods, to create a vision for energy cooperations and to support decision-making towards their implementation. It may also be used to analyse existing energy cooperations with respect to their specific characteristics.
