abstract |
Raising awareness of the environmental impact of energy generation and consumption
has been a recent concern of contemporary society worldwide. Underlying the awareness
of energy consumption is an intricate network of perception and social interaction
that can be mediated by technology. In this paper we argue that issues regarding energy,
environment and technology are very much situated and involve tensions of sociocultural
nature. This exploratory investigation addresses the subject by introducing the design
of a Socially-inspired Energy Eco-Feedback Technology (SEET), which is composed of
an interactive system to trigger and mediate collective savings and a tangible device
as a public feedback. Results of an evaluation situated in the context of a school
in a socially disadvantaged area in Brazil are discussed, shedding light on the sociocultural
aspects related to the subject. The role of the SEET to motivate energy awareness
collectively among the social group is assessed, as well as the design characteristics
that contributed to that. Outcomes bring to light social aspects and dynamics that
would hardly have been predicted, evidencing critical factors related to a socially
inspired design approach in the energy awareness domain. |
