Item type:Publication, PowerPedia: changing energy usage with the help of a community-based smartphone applicationWhen it comes to conserving electricity, it is crucial for users to know how much energy is consumed by individual appliances. However, the technical Feedback provided by existing energy consumption feedback systems in the form of dry numbers and intangible units is not appropriate for most users. To address this shortcoming we developed PowerPedia, a system that provides behavior-influencing feedback over and above pure consumption values. By integrating a Community platform - a Wikipedia for electrical appliances - PowerPedia enables users to identify and compare the consumption of their domestic appliances with that of others. It thus helps users to better understand their electricity consumption and take effective action to save electricity.Type:journal articleJournal:Personal and Ubiquitous ComputingVolume:16Issue:6Scopus© Citations 32 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evaluating Mobile Phones as Energy Consumption Feedback Devices(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010-12-06); Sénac, PatrickWith smart electricity meters being widely deployed, data on residential energy usage is increasingly becoming available. To make sensible use of these data, we investigated the suitability of mobile phones as an interface to provide feedback on overall and device-related energy consumption. Based on the results of a user survey, we implemented the most highly valued feedback features on an iPhone that communicates with a smart meter. In a follow-up user study, we evaluated how users perceive the experience of such energy consumption feedback and how they rate the importance of different functionalities. Our work confirms the suitability of energy feedback delivered on a mobile phone. It oulines that a clear and easy to explain use case scenario is key and that knowledge-increasing functionalities as well as those functionalities from which monetary savings can be directly implied are perceived as most important. To address technophobe users, action-guiding feedback that goes beyond displaying aggregated information is requiredType:conference paperScopus© Citations 10 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Towards a PowerPedia : A Collaborative energy encyclopediaWhen it comes to conserving electricity, it is crucial for users to understand how much electricity is used by single appliances. However, the rather technical feedback in pure numbers and intangible units of existing energy feedback systems is not appropriate for most users. To improve this situation, we present PowerPedia, a system that aims at providing action guiding feedback beyond pure consumption values. PowerPedia enables users to identify and compare the consumption of their residential appliances to those of others. It thus helps users to better assess their electricity consumption and draw effective measures to save electricity.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
