Storm Drain Energy (Working Title)

    One bill once a month with an obscure number on it (Kwh) is a poor representation of energy to most people and is mostly ignored. We want people to be able to understand what is using energy, how much it is using and what they can do to use less. We have decided the best way to go about studying how to represent energy usage to consumers is to each design a way to present the usage. We then will collaborate on which points we think are the strongest and weakest from each idea and find a way to mold these into one beautiful design.  

Our three different themes are:

• Physical Representations
• Competition/Achievement Systems
• Personal Motivation

    I have been researching to decide what type of representation I think will work well. I have decided that an "in your face" appliance based representation is what I will focus on. It creates a constant reminder to people to conserve and is based off the notion that people want to conserve for one reason or another.
