TECHNOLOGY
How do you save water or energy ? How does it work ?
By combining methods from data science and behavioral science, we create meaningful feedback about household energy and water consumption, motivating more efficient use. One popular way of presenting this feedback is by combining it with ‘social norm’ messaging, helping consumers understand their consumption compared to similar households in their area. This motivating message is then complemented with personalize tips on how households can best reduce their consumption. It creates a level of social awareness regarding what is a reasonable amount of consumption, spurring the household to adjust their behaviors.
