Although smart technologies are widely promoted as enabling flexibility in households' energy demand, they often fail to achieve substantial impact. How actually used and what extent enable changes of energy-reliant practices everyday life therefore needs be better understood. This paper evaluates a home management system, Ero 2.0, which was tested by households multi-residential building Sweden. To our knowledge, apart from its forerunner, 2.0 is the first kind include personal threshold on...
Space heating represents a major share of households' total energy consumption and related CO2 emissions. An approach often suggested to improve both the environmental economic performance system is demand-side management. However, there has been little research into how households perceive load shifting in space heating. This paper evaluates thermal perception among tenants 33 multi-residential buildings connected district Sweden. Centrally controlled shifts were applied eight these during...
To bridge the gap between conceptualisation and implementation of circular value propositions, recent research efforts have focused on linking design-driven approaches with circular-oriented innovation. Such can facilitate iterative processes that emphasise co-creation, prototyping, real-life experimentation, ultimately promoting practical implementation. Still, there is a lack understanding how companies go through process innovation, prototyping co-creation support this process. This...
Both the daily use and renewal of kitchens significantly contribute to overall environmental impact domestic buildings. To identify design implications related circular consumption in kitchens, 20 household interviews one focus group session were performed, investigating how are used transformed meet households’ wants needs. This study determined that kitchen resource is greatly affected by typical generally does not promote sustainable use. Key factors support minimization availability...
Abstract Kitchens are frequently altered leading to unnecessary material flows. End-users’ wishes customise their kitchen based on changing priorities have been recognised as one cause for frequent alterations. Complementing previous research investigating alterations, this paper focuses the spatial characteristics of room. Spatial identified determining factors developing circular solutions design which could reduce extent and impact Eleven households in Swedish villas, apartments, terrace...
Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of an Optimal Time Recommendation model (OTR) in encouraging citizens to shift usage their home appliances, such as dishwasher off-peak hours. The research was conducted at HSB Living Lab + Gothenburg city, involving 74 participants from diverse social groups, including students, one-person households, couples, and families with kids. employed a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, data self-reporting QR-code or iPad-based...
