Coffee Maker Patterns and the Design of Energy Feedback Artefacts

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Smart electricity meters and home displays are being installed in people’s homes with the assumption that households will make the necessary efforts to reduce their electricity consumption. However, present solutions do not sufficiently account for the social implications of design. There is a potential for greater savings if we can better understand how such designs affect behaviour. In this paper, we describe our design of an energy awareness artefact – the Energy AWARE Clock – and discuss it in relation to behavioural processes in the home. A user study is carried out to study the deployment of the prototype in real domestic contexts for three months. Results indicate that the Energy AWARE Clock played a significant role in drawing households’ attention to their electricity use. It became a natural part of the household and conceptions of electricity became naturalized into informants’ everyday language.

Watt-Lite; energy statistics made tangible
- 2010
-
In: DIS 2010 - Proceedings of the 8th ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems. - New York, NY, USA : ACM. - 9781450301039 ; , s. 240-243

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Increasing our knowledge of how design affects behaviour in the workplace has a large potential for reducing electricity consumption. This would be beneficial for the environment as well as for industry and society at large. In Western society energy use is hidden and for the great mass of consumers its consequences are poorly understood. In order to better understand how we can use design to increase awareness of electricity consumption in everyday life, we will discuss the design of Watt-Lite, a set of three oversized torches projecting real time energy statistics of a factory in the physical environments of its employees. The design of Watt-Lite is meant to explore ways of representing, understanding and interacting with electricity in industrial workspaces. We discuss three design inquiries and their implications for the design of Watt-Lite: the use of tangible statistics; exploratory interaction and transferred connotations. © 2010 ACM.

Psychoacoustic evaluation as a tool for optimization in the development of an urban soundscape simulator
- 2010
-
In: Proceedings of the 5th Audio Mostly - A Conference on Interaction With Sound, AM '10. - New York, NY, USA : ACM. - 9781450300469 ; , s. 1859802-
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper will discuss the use of psychoacoustic evaluation as a tool for optimization of the soundscape simulator developed in the Listen project. The listen project is a three-year research project focused around developing a demonstrator, which auralizes the sound environment produced by road and railway traffic. The resolution of the parameter space of the simulator heavily influences the performance of the simulator. The perceptual resolution of the parameter space is investigated and the resolution is adjusted accordingly. The most important parameter is velocity. Adjustments of the resolution of this parameter alone gives a 60% reduction of the usage of memory.

Tiden är vårt hem
- 2010
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Problematiken för mitt projekt kretsar kring existens och tid. Kring hur vi upplever vardagens framfart, i det enskilda, samt hur vi förhåller oss till vår omvärld, i det privata. Genom att vi existerar är vi också del av tidens gång och nuet vare sig vi vill eller inte och i detta faktum finns någonting tröstlöst men samtidigt romantiskt som fascinerar mig och som jag vill utforska. I detta framåtskridande finns integriteten som ett individens skydd mot exponering och den stress över att uppnå någonting med våra liv. Men vad finns kvar efter ett liv som levts utan åstadkomna stordåd? Vad lämnar vi för spår? Tiden är den överhängande problematiken för mitt projekt, och jag närmar mig det genom tre fotografiska verk med titlarna Monument, Fragment och Moment.

Colour Research with Architectural Relevance : How Can Different Approaches Gain from each Other?
- 2010
-
In: Color Research and Application. - : Wiley. - 0361-2317 .- 1520-6378. ; 35:2, s. 145-152
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Colour research from different scientific traditions start from different basic questions and use different methods and concepts. This makes it difficult to communicate and to Judge result relevance in a wider perspective. Here we start from architects' need of colour knowledge and discuss recent studies of colour appearance and colour emotion, with and without explicit connection to architecture. We stress the need for further development and clarification of concepts and conclude that the multitude of studies With different approaches con be seen os cases, jointly adding to a widened and deepened understanding of colour.

3Ecologies: Visualizing sustainability factors and futures
- 2010. - 9
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- ‘3Ecologies’ makes visible factors affecting the sustainability of consumer products. Within engineering and economics, there are a variety of models for analyzing and ‘predicting’ the environmental factors such as energy, emissions and waste involved during production, consumption and disposal. We develop an expanded model, which emphasizes human impact and choices as well as potential consequences and futures. Psychological, sociological and environmental factors are mapped over time – throughout the lifespan (production, purchase, use, and disposal) and the extended lifecycle(s) of products. Case studies of familiar products in everyday life are developed to demonstrate the conceptual model, and three applications are proposed to reach designers, consumers and the general public. 3Ecologies uses diagrams and narratives to visualize the history and possible futures of products, including natural disintegration, active recycling and unexpected adaptations – an alternative view upon the ‘life’ of things that we might ordinarily take for granted.
