Abstract

A prototype of an Agent-based Model (ABM) for the LOCAW (LOw Carbon At Work) project is presented. The main goal of LOCAW is foresight to enhance behavioral and societal changes enabling the transition towards sustainable paths in Europe. It will involve examining large employer-organizations in six different countries. This paper presents a shared ontology created to ensure that maximum comparability of the case-studies is maintained. Next, a preliminary prototype, using one of the six organizations, the University of A Coruña, is shown.
