Concepts That Motivate Energy-Efficient Behavior | Jun 28, 2010 |
Carbon and Artefact has created four product concepts that are conceived to motivate energy-efficient behavior in home. These fantastic concepts have made the smart-grid technology available to the consumer. Definitely, this is the best way to engage mass people saving energy.
The Impact Clock is the first concept. This clock helps the consumer to know his or her consumption history. It shows the current energy consumption and how your current energy consumption compares with the household energy history. It creates your day-to-day energy fingerprint over time.
The second concept is the Impact Fridge that has a green efficiency light bar. The light gets shorter as you keep the door open and the energy is lost. After you close the door of the fridge, it regains the energy and the light becomes longer again. Thus you will realize how much energy you waste by keeping the door open for a long time.
Impact Dishwasher is one more great innovative concept.
This dishwasher can be activated from sleep mode very easily, just with one simple touch of the user. The concept, like the previously described one, features a green energy efficiency bar that will let you know which settings you can consider to remove in order to make the process energy efficient.
Finally, I would like to tell you about the Impact App. This concept is designed for people who lack new information. It delivers exact guidance and insights generated by the user’s contacts. What is more, the concept is designed to enable users to control their Impact appliances remotely. The user will be also able to share to his or her achievements of reducing energy consumptions to friends.
