Smart meters and related sensing technologies promise that energy information will change energy use. Poorly designed interactions with energy information, however, jeopardize billion dollar infrastructure investments. The goal of this initiative is to develop a comprehensive human-centered solution that leverages the anticipated widespread diffusion of energy sensors to significantly reduce and shift energy use. Our major innovation is the creation of a transformative system that combines behavioral techniques with human-centered design, computation, and technology to affect energy behavior.
