Pervasive Visual Interfaces to Change Energy Consumption Behaviour at the Workplace

This position paper introduces pervasive interventions at a university campus to increase the pro-environmental awareness, consciousness, and learning of employees making use of different visual interfaces. We briefly present the design of three intervention iterations. While in the first intervention the focus was on increasing awareness through information distribution with ambient learning displays on the campus, the second iteration provided personalised feedback to employees with the help of a sensor network and different client applications. The third iteration then implemented a game-based learning concept. We found that these approaches are effective on different levels and that a combination of these effective elements can lead to a sustained behaviour change among the employees.
