Abstract. Environmental issues are a reoccurring discussion topic among politicians, researchers and citizens all around the world. Climate changes and pollution are both important issues that need to be dealt with to slow down their impact. Within the IS area, the acknowledgement of these issues has been slow, and it is now time to start contributing. In this paper an illustration of an approach to user interaction for energy saving is given. We present a research project in which a visual energy information system has been co- ...

The SAVE ENERGY Project (CIP – ICT PSP – 2008-2, nº. 238882) has addressed the challenge of stimulating and measuring energy user behaviour transformation facilitated by ICT solutions to achieve an increase in energy efficiency. A network of five public building pilots located in Helsinki, Leiden, Lisbon, Luleå and Manchester installed data collection systems and real-time energy displays to support behaviour change and determine best practice. The user-driven Living Lab methodology was implemented to achieve faster and more effective results. A generic process is presented which can be used as the basis of future energy behaviour transformation programmes.
