Changing Interactions to Reduce Energy Consumption: Specification of a Context-Aware System Centered on the Home Occupants’ Concerns

Interaction Technologies Used in Intelligent Residences: A Systematic Review

“…The low references about of sustainable designer are justified because the solutions are very focused to be functional and not userfocused, discarding in this way, this requirement considered essential to the solutions. About Q3 question and what methods of evaluation of iteration between the user and the technology have been adopted, half the works attempted some kind of evaluation; all of them carried out evaluations by means of interviews with the users [Fréjus et al 2013], [Scanetti and Casalegno 2014]. The interviews were mostly just descriptive, and lacked the application of a methodology to support the design solutions.…”

“…Currently, there are studies in the literature on these interactions, which for the most part, involve the use of prototypes [Alan et al 2016], [Kjeldskov et al 2015], [Chetty et al 2009]. The area of sensitive context systems might be an alternative to autonomous systems, as a means of providing help in learning the users' preferences [Fréjus et al 2013], [Moghaddam et al 2016], by targeting a number of relatively minor flaws and making a comparison with static systems. It is possible, for example, to select the correct temperature thermostat, depending on the number of people that are in a controlled environment, or to suit one's schedule.…”

Analysis of domestic activity contexts for the design of ubiquitous energy-efficient systems

“…On mobiliserait alors les supports techniques (e.g., téléphones, téléviseurs...) lors des basculements contextuels, pour proposer des possibilités d'action en faveur d'une gestion énergétique intégrée à l'existant. Ainsi, en proposant la possibilité de coupure d'un appareil ménager en plus des possibilités de répondre ou non à un appel téléphonique lors d'un appel entrant (e.g., Fréjus, Dominici, Weis, Poizat, Guibourdenche, & Pietropaoli, 2013), on aiderait à faire des choix impactant l'efficacité énergétique en l'intégrant au sein d'un éventail élargi d'actions significatives possibles. La seconde perspective s'appuierait plutôt sur l'absence conséquente de significations liées à l'efficacité énergétique en action, qui mérite une attention très particulière.…”
