Sensing and Feedback of Everyday Activities to Promote Environmentally Sustainable Behaviors
نویسنده
چکیده
Everyday human behaviors such as home energy consumption and personal travel can have a significant impact on the environment. Feedback has been shown to be one the most effective strategies in reducing wasteful consumption, particularly for home energy, yet there has been a lack of research in other domains. With advances in sensing technologies and computerized displays, we now have the potential to provide personalized feedback in real time for a variety of environmentally impactful activities. In this thesis proposal, I describe both completed and proposed work to further the design, tools and techniques of sensing and feedback solutions of everyday activities to promote environmentally sustainable behaviors.
