Inducing Behavioral Change Towards Energy Conservation

Closing the Loop

Contact

 

One of the largest obstacles in moving towards a more sustainable society is that our resource-intensive daily actions are so disconnected from their consequences. The "Closing The Loop" working group, formed at the 2006 Fall Generator event, has been working on ways to use information to raise people's awareness of their energy use and prompt them to change their behavior. We will present on our recent efforts to implement improved revolving door signage and information in athena clusters on how to print double-sided and cancel print jobs. This will hopefully include preliminary information about the efficacy of these interventions.
