Persistent workplace plug-load energy savings and awareness through energy dashboards: eco-feedback, control, and automation

Published:26 April 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

The goal of this study is to investigate design strategies: feedback, control and automation to increase energy conservation and awareness in the workplace. This paper presents a summary of the research background, the system prototype, the pilot study findings, and the plans for the rest of the research.
