In this paper, we present an interaction design exploration into the possibilities of using a computer application to increase the sustainability of households in an enjoyable manner. This is achieved by providing household members with personal information regarding their energy consumption and its related costs. This application also introduces a competition element that links the energy consumption in every household member's room to their personal user account in order to motivate users to compare their energy consumption with other household members. Early results show that the system indeed enhances the environmental awareness and that users are pleased with the idea of competition-based energy savings. |
