AWARE

AWARE is a design oriented research project that aims to increase people's awareness of how energy is being used in everyday life, especially in our home environment. The objectives are to develop strategies and artefacts that make people attentive of their energy use, as well as offer them control and possibilities of making their energy use more efficient.

The AWARE project was conducted at the Interactive Institute, Energy Design during 2006-2008. The project is carried out in cooperation with Stiftelsen Svensk Industridesign (Swedish Industrial Design Foundation, SVID) and funded by Energimyndigheten (the Swedish Energy Agency, STEM).

AWARE project participants:
Sara Backlund (interaction designer), Loove Broms (interaction designer), Karin Ehrnberger (industrial de- signer), Sara Ilstedt Hjelm (industrial designer), Erika Lundell (ethnologist), Jin Moen (interaction designer).
