Mobile-Computing Based Rationalization for Energy Consumption

Designing a Comprehensive and Flexible Architecture to Improve Energy Efficiency and Decision-Making in Managing Energy Consumption and Production in Panama

“…By using a mobile device, users can access statistics on energy consumption and control household electrical power remotely [54]. There are several studies on the developing mobile smart grid applications that focus on monitoring and controlling energy consumption to interact with an SG network [55][56][57]. These studies only focus on the technical method of the smart grid system process so that energy consumption can be monitored, organized, and scheduled using a mobile application without going into the process of developing smart-grid-oriented mobile applications.…”

The role of climate finance beyond renewables: Behavioural insights

“…However, improving the design and usability of technologies tackles individuals' ‘perceived behavioural control’ or perceived ability to use them (Ajzen, 1991). To achieve this, studies have suggested integrating users' perspectives into the technology design stage: Product development that harnesses usability testing under a ‘user‐centred design’ framework allows energy‐efficient devices to match the preferences of targeted consumers by physically involving them in design activities (such as brainstorming workshops) (Odeh & Voskergian, 2017). To motivate active changes in energy consumption, energy efficiency interfaces (such as smart meters) can simplify energy saving by providing feedback, reminders and rewards for users, as shown in a field experiment among Chinese university students whose behaviour responded most significantly to the provision of peers' power usage information (Chiu et al, 2020).…”
