  1. Ecological Research for Integrating Behavior Design into Product Interfaces Dave Miller, IDSA New York University

  2. Theoretical Underpinnings

  3. Running Washing Machine: 10-30% Water Heating: 70-90% Energy used in Washing Clothes

  4. Maytag Commercial Washing Machines

  5. Front Load Legend Top Load Legend Cycle Information Labels

  6. No effective feedback mechanism • Large number of washes per week (approx. 200/site) • Benign Reasons for using Washing Machines

  7. Measurement Systems • Inline flow meters • Measure hot and cold water flow • Datalogging system • Open Source Hardware:Arduino Microcontroller • Software determines cycle selected

  8. Experiment I Outline

  9. Experiment I Results

  10. Simulated washing machine control panel with integrated energy meter – red box added for emphasis This approach did not significantly change behavior Previous Research: Midden and Ham, Technical University of Einthoven

  11. The Philips iCat acts as an embodied consciousness, providing a normative influence on users to use efficient settings Previous Research: Midden and Ham, Technical University of Einthoven

  12. Experiment II Design Experiment II

  13. Threats to Validity • Performance anxiety • Different types of laundry loads • Non-independence of events • Other influences • Contamination from other signs or other buildings
