Why does real-time information reduce energy consumption?

A number of studies have estimated how much energy conservation is achieved by providing households with real-time information on energy use via in-home displays. However, none of these studies tell us why real-time information changes energy-use behavior. We explore the causal mechanisms through which real-time information affects energy consumption by conducting a randomized-control trial wit...

Real-time Feedback Interventions to Reduce Energy and Water Consumption: a Long-term Perspective

Why Does Training Reduce Blind Pedestrians’ Veering?

Defined with respect to straight-line locomotion, to veer is to deviate from one’s intended straight-line path. In the absence of sources of guidance such as a target to walk toward or a guideline to walk along, veering appears to be nearly unavoidable. This phenomenon has long been a matter of both common and scientific curiosity. Why do sighted people tend to walk in circles when they lack vi...

Real-Time Per-Cycle Energy Consumption Measurement of Digital Systems

This technical report introduces a real-time per-clock-cycle energy measurement technique for power analysis and reduction of synchronous state machines. This technique guarantees accuracy with a sampling rate of twice the clock frequency under spiky current draw common in digital systems. In addition, it acquires the energy consumption profile in real-time, thus, not requiring repeated operati...
