Abstract

Energy consumption that takes place because of industrial sheltered living through amenities such as lighting, heat, ventilation and air conditioning is not fully deciphered by the users when in use, especially in shared public spaces. Here we describe a design intervention, where users in a shared workspace are made aware of the energy consumption and its pattern of use due to ambient lighting through text messages on their personal mobile devices. The text messages contained specially treated information about the energy consumption. This poster describes the design intervention through the prototype description of a 'Usage Responsive Space'.
