WHAT

THE • ROLE • OF USERS

HOW

• observation two tools are provided to participants to track what they do with electricity in their house the first is a weekly calendar, in which you can write what appliances you used at what time the second is WATTSON, a personal energy monitor easy to install and use

Innovation will be complex Transition will be gradual Our actual use of electricitywill change. We will have to be more aware, conscious and active in our choice. Time for energy waste in going to end. But still users have needs that must be satisfied. The target of this research is: • understand how users employ electricity today • which are the reasons behind their choices

+

This information will integrate the future feasible scenarios with real user’s experience.
