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.

Beyond Eco-Feedback: Adding Online Manual and Automated Controls to Promote Workplace Sustainability
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWhereas eco-feedback has been widely studied in HCI and environmental psychology, online manual control and automated control have been rarely studied with a focus on their long-term quantitative impact and usability. To address this, an intervention ...
Toward Improving Building User Energy Awareness
e-Energy '20: Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM International Conference on Future Energy SystemsRaising awareness of users' energy consumption in non-residential buildings like offices or universities is an essential step toward a global decrease of energy use. A popular solution is to have a visual dashboard with general information about energy ...
Storage-aware smartphone energy savings
UbiComp '13: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM international joint conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computingIn this paper, to our best knowledge, we are first to provide an experimental study on how storage techniques affect power levels in smartphones and introduce energy-efficient approaches to reduce energy consumption. We evaluate power degradation at ...
