Against the background of prognosticated rising levels of global resource consumption it is an indispensable challenge in the 21st century to achieve sustainable development, meaning that society’s welfare generation has to happen within the natural system’s boundaries. To do so, transition processes need to be designed to leave this currently unsustainable development path. In this paper, we introduce the Sustainable Living Lab (SLL) research infrastructure as a methodology to conduct sociotechnical real-life experiments in product service system development, set up in the course of the European project “SusLabNWECreation of a networked infrastructure for innovation on sustainability in the home environment”. The aim is to develop sustainable PSS solutions in the field of heating, with strong reference to user behaviour, that can support system innovation by changing social practices currently institutionalised in socio-technical regimes. SusLabNWE is a European joint project and counts 11 partners in 4 countries: Heijplaat (the Netherlands), North Rhine Westphalia (Germany), London (Great Britain) and Gothenburg (Sweden). The paper introduces the concepts and intermediate results of all pilot studies as well as the transnational joint pilot. Theoretically, the SLL approach conceptualises regime elements through social practice theory. Taking up recent calls for a more profound concept of institutions in transition research, regime is understood in a more dynamic way, as social practice theories always embrace an element of change in (re-) production. Changing established practices, constituting a socio-technical regime, through user-integrated PSS innovation is hypothesised to be a promising strategy to support transition from the bottom-up.
