“…On the other hand, while a single strategy may not produce user's long-term behavioral changes, combinations of strategies are likely to have more significant impacts in those situations [53]. We consider that Type I may be appropriate to attract new poor to practice sustainable behaviors in the early stages because of feedback.…”

“…When their behaviors have exercised, the Type II strategy could be used to maintain those behaviors. This process is translated from the self-directed phase to habitual new behavior [53]. In the end, Type III could be considered to reduce unsustainable or additional costs associated with manufacturing and reduce environmental impact.…”

“…This has evolved from the subject of design to broader issues of DfSB [53]. DfSB research areas originated in design, sociology, environmental psychology, behavioral psychology, and sustainability [53]. Its purpose is to use design strategies to reduce the impact on the environment by influencing users to practice sustainable behaviors during the product use phase [30,31].…”

Abstract:Environmental benefits related to home appliance life cycles depend on how these products are used. Designing home appliances that promote sustainable behavior is an effective way to reduce environmental impacts. This study aimed to increase relevant opportunities for promoting sustainable behavior practices on the new poor through home appliances, which is rarely discussed in the fields of design for sustainable behavior (DfSB) and product design. In particular, relevant assessment tools or indicators are lacking in DfSB, and people's use of home appliances is generally unsustainable. Therefore, repertory grid technology was used to understand the perceptions of the new poor, develop an assessment tool, and construct design strategies for home appliances that promote sustainable behavior. Data were collected from the new poor and from designers. Through cluster and principal component analyses, three strategy types were proposed that corresponded to different product features, suggestions, and guidance. In addition, the effectiveness and potential of an assessment tool were demonstrated using the Wilcoxon rank test. The findings could be used by designers, retailers, and green marketers to propose effective product design programs that promote sustainable behavior of the new poor during product use.

“…In the area of the design of personalized experiences and their linkage to the interaction design, a promising study, [4] , serves as a basis on which to advance the validation of the impact of the experience. Finally, long-term evaluation is another factor to which it is intended to contribute, since no studies have been found that propose this type of evaluation, as [2] points out in its review of the State of the Art.…”

Due to the scarcity of energy resources foreseen in the near future, it is necessary to address the energy efficiency in an imminent way. This framework serves as a motivation for this doctoral thesis, which aims at promoting awareness about the energy efficiency through interactive systems that use Experience Design as a key factor.In order to develop effective elements, a people-centred perspective is used to validate the impact of the experience and of persuasive interventions which are focused on the diversity of users in the work environment. To this end, after reviewing the state of the art and analyzing the users and context of the project, it is proposed to address the awareness for the diversity through the creation of multidimensional and flexible user taxonomies. This categorization will be linked to persuasive interventions targeted in a personalized manner to each user profile.The strategies generated will be translated into design guidelines that will be applied through technology, both in physical devices and digital tools. In these cases, the interfaces developed will be analysed and refined in order to link the proposed interactions with the design of concrete experiences based on people's needs. Finally, the systems developed (tangible and digital) will be evaluated over a long period of time to find the impact of the experience design. In addition, the aim is to measure the level of awareness of energy efficiency after prolonged interaction with the proposed tools, adherence to the system, maintenance of awareness and behaviour change over time.
