  6. Opportunities Energy consumption • Electricity : Increased efficiency / no more Standby / Sensible use • Gas : Sensible use of heating / Reduction of warm water usage Embodied energy waste • Recycling: Glass and paper can be recycled, make it easy for the people! • Food : “Don’t grow a cow that you are not going to eat!” • Wasting : Use a normal glass instead of single use cups! Water consumption • Shower : “Five minutes is enough!” • Domestic appliances : “Load the washing machine economically!” Martijn Renes Pedro Almeida Willemijn van de Wetering Masterclass by Associate Professor, Architect SAR Örjan Svane

  10. Effects • Goals • Education towards energy use • Create awareness of the energy quantity (KW/h) needed for each • appliance. • Persuasion based on freedom of choice. • PT tool as a reminder • Reward or punishment in function of your behavior • Practical effects • Each household appliance should have an interface of information/persuasion, so that one can be aware of his energy use/cost. • Central computer and satelites software with persuasive reminder forms that can be disable or enable by its users or in bad behavior cases by manager.
