Stimulating energy-saving behaviour through eco-feedback , adaptive gamification and personalized recommendations

The use of IoT technologies (e.g. smart metering, smart home) and persuasive techniques to support energy-saving behaviour in households has been increasingly researched. Studies suggest that effective designs of such systems should incorporate different types of feedback with motivational techniques and energy saving advice [4]. But to be effective, these must consider different consumer types and needs, be presented at the right moment and provide actionable suggestions, tailored to a given user and context [3]. While such approaches are little investigated in this domain, we describe how we pursue that in the EU-funded project enCOMPASS (Grant Agreement no. 723059) [1].
