Promoting residential energy conservation throught real-time consumption feedback

Pereira-de-Araujo, Joao Lucas

Abstract Details

2006, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Industrial, Interior and Visual Communic Design.
The consumer’s perception of energy conservation actions results are very inaccurate. Energy Consumption Display have increasingly become an area of research and development, but there is still a need for investigation on its application in user-oriented products. In this document, we investigate how to develop, from a product and interaction design standpoint, appliances that will give feedback related to energy consumption. The study focused on one specific product, the room air conditioning. The goal was to provide information that would stimulate more efficient use of the air conditioner. Information from many fields informed the development of this product. Initial concepts were presented to focus groups, along with scenarios. The results from the generative research served as basis for a refined Product Requirements list. The final product includes the interface developed for the air conditioner and a few possible applications.
