“…Its playful character allowed it to act as a research tool that highlighted concerns, beliefs and energy practices within the different energy communities it was deployed in. Tidy Street [51] is another community project in which the energy consumption of different households was drawn with chalk on the public streets, encouraging people to reflect on each other's consumption.…”

The transition to renewable energy is likely to require the creation of growing numbers of energy communities: collectives organized around shared, local renewable resources. Unlike individual households however, the requirements for such communities to share a resource and demand-shift their consumption are still unexplored. By deploying a custom sensor energy monitoring kit and data physicalization workshops with 17 households, we examine the factors that impact their coordination around the shared resource. We found that collective demand-shifting has an extended set of considerations including trade-offs related to privacy, flexibility and social cohesion which are core for navigating already delicate neighborly relations. We use these factors to propose design considerations for a digital system that can act as a mediator among households. Such a system should enable multiple levels of immediacy to account for people's routines, should have adjustable levels of privacy to balance policing and fairness and should be able to offload some of the mundane decision-making. This study moves beyond individual energy consumption behavior to help identify energy as a collective issue that demands collective action. Accordingly, our findings contribute to the development of a next generation of Ubicomp technologies that can support collective action for environmental sustainability.

“…For example, making cities more sustainable -an area receiving interest in both academia and industry [11,13] -is an inherently geospatial undertaking. HCI researchers and practitioners working in areas ranging from sustainable energy use to public bike and ridesharing must consider geospatial factors like sense of place in neighborhoods, transportation networks, and demography.…”

Geography is playing an increasingly important role in areas of HCI ranging from social computing to natural user interfaces. At the same time, research in geography has focused more and more on technologymediated interaction with spatiotemporal phenomena. Despite the growing popularity of this geographic human-computer interaction (GeoHCI) in both fields, there have been few opportunities for GeoHCI knowledge sharing, knowledge creation or community building in either discipline, let alone between them. The goal of this workshop is thus two-fold. First, we will seek to sum up the state of GeoHCI knowledge and address GeoHCI core issues by inviting prominent researchers in the space to share and discuss the most important high-level findings from their work. Second, through our interdisciplinary organizing committee, we will recruit participants from both fields, with the goal of laying the groundwork for a community that works across intra-and interdisciplinary boundaries.

As part of the activities of the IEEE-GDL CCD working group of physical infrastructure, this whitepaper is intented to be an initial guide to understand the layers, taxonomy of services and best practices for the development of smart buildings. Open standards are claimed in order to increase interoperability between layers and services. Moreover, two buildings in Guadalajara city, one new and another to renew, are described as a proof of concept under development and being part of the strategy to develop the smart city infrastructure based in a master plan. A discussion will be addressed in order to identify the areas of innovation and opportunities for the smart buildings as the contribution of this document.
