The pilot housing project called Ecoplace in Zürich offers its residents sustainable living in a convenient environment. Using intelligent technology, the daily consumption of water, electricity and heat is tracked for every apartment. Through the visualization of this data the inhabitants are made aware of their behavior and encouraged to save our planet's resources. The question which the workshop participants will try to answer is: how can we exploit the possibilities of technology to raise awareness of household energy consumption and how can we help people improve their behavior?
