Book excerpt: A conceptual design of a home energy console is proposed that could contribute to home energy conservation by motivating behavior changes. A home energy console is a digital display in the home which should motivate behavior changes by visualizing energy consumption at the point of consumption, providing feedback on past performance, and suggesting improvements for future performance. The resulting console should be more tool-like than simply a presentation of data, meaning homeowners should take an active role in the control, operation and maintenance of their homes. By aiding small day to day decisions the console should gradually influence major decisions and lifestyles. This investigation was motivated by research from 1977 to 1985 that demonstrated how feedback on daily energy use, thermostat setpoints, and open windows could reduce energy consumption by up to 20%. This thesis represents, in a current context, this body of knowledge including examples of feedback techniques to encourage conservation, incentives for different types of people, and a control theory which engages the user for the purposes of learning and environmental awareness. This thesis presents a design and evaluation process of developing a prototype console. The process consisted of: reviewing prior studies on home energy feedback, developing behavioral theories for energy conservation education, performing user testing from paper sketches of a mock-up console design, and evaluating test sessions of a prototype design on a touchscreen and digital table. User testing was conducted with non-MIT test subjects in a laboratory setting with mock-up display designs. The qualitative findings were attitudes and expectations of the testers, and included: specific examples of cost feed back, methods for appealing to different types of people and suggestions for an effective structuring of the console, solutions for presenting different people feedback in their own personal way. The thesis should help future energy console designers start thinking about designing a better energy console.

Book excerpt: With recent changes in the economy and a dwindling supply of natural resources, energy conservation is a very relevant and important concern among homeowners. Each homeowner has a unique perception of environmental issues, including energy conservation, and yet all are similarly influenced. These different perceptions are based, in part, on differences in preferred worldviews. It is argued here that more effective educational delivery methods could be employed if they were based on these individual worldview preferences. This study investigates both psychological and environmental worldviews in light of energy conservation education. Using psychological worldview theory and environmental worldview theory, this research contributes to better understanding of individuals who are interested in home energy conservation. The research provides knowledge that will improve education delivery to help motivate individuals to conserve energy in the home. An online survey was distributed to a University Extension listserv composed of individuals who were interested in receiving more information about home energy conservation. The survey consisted of a psychological paradigmatic theory inventory and the revised New Environmental Paradigm scale. This research supports the assumption that there are many different ways of understanding environmental issues; no way is more correct than any other, but some are more preferred than others. It suggests that by targeting each individual's worldview and the way she/he comes to know and approaches environmental issues, researchers and educators can begin to contribute in a more individually meaningful manner rather than continuing to treat people as an aggregate homogenous whole.
