Energy consumption in smarthome: Persuasive interaction respecting user's values
Abstract
Residential use is currently considered as the main factor that results in the massive increase of energy demands. Electrical devices take part in most of our daily activities and social services. Housing consumption contributes to approximately 28% of the worldwide total energy and keeps growing with an estimation of 40% by 2040 [1]. This has tremendous impacts on climate change through gas emissions. Consequently, reducing energy consumption will have positive impact on fighting against climate change and global warming issues. Still, it remains a social challenge and needs to be addressed. The approach to reduce housing consumption through more energy efficient equipment does not tackle the issue as the number of devices in a household continues to augment rapidly.
