Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to study the current designs of eco-feedback technologies, assess how effective they are, and propose viable solutions to increase the performance of these technologies, and in turn reduce the cumulative environmental impact. While there are currently many technologies in the works of being created, with similar intent, they all seem to share one common problem; Eco-Feedback technologies are costly to produce with a low net gain, when it comes to user satisfaction and hence future investment. Design expands further than visual appeal, and this project dives into all components of proper design. From the depths of environmental psychology, all the way to visualization design, this paper proposes a future for a more sustainable environment.
