“Impact†is a series of design proposals developed by Artefact in partnership with Carbon to help residential consumers improve their energy efficiency by encouraging more responsible choices.
The concepts leverage Smart Grid capabilities like electricity price information and smart appliances. By applying knowledge of design for effective behavioral change, these solutions raise awareness, inform decisions, provide motivation, and provide new capabilities without requiring extra effort. While others have focused on the motivated minority, these design solutions emphasize convenience and usefulness for the majority.
