Seeing Personal Energy Consumption
Nowadays, the energy useage of human is greatly increased. Nearly
everything in their lives is related with energy, one of the most important energy
is electricity. “How can we change our
behavior when energy is so immaterial?“ is one of the energy issues. It is a
question which designers have attempted to answer through forty international
projects. People just need some simple changes of their behavior can lead to
significant energy saving quickly. But these kinds of change will happen only
when people have awareness of the energy consumption. Then they will try to
control the power usage.
You need to raise your energy awareness
by useing the way like managing or designing alternative way to make energy
useage more efficiently.
Some designers, for example Gilles
Belley which materializes the escape of energy due to the electrical appliance
left in from the day before. Others such as the lamps, blinds or paper-painted
designs by STATIC! According to the level of consumption of the house and
change form or color accordingly. Lastly, the radios of Eton produce their own
energy. All of them are not only try to
make energy useage more efficiently by technical way but also provide an
aesthetic point of view.
One of the result of these awareness is
the power aware cord by Static! Doing just like that, representing personal
energy consumption through glowing pulses, color, and intensity of light. The
power aware cord represents a different approach to green design- one not
necessarily rooted in materiality, but focused on user experience and the
visual representation of relevant issues. We love the anthropomorphic approach
that engages the user on an interactive level, creating an aesthetic and
educational connection between object and person.
