•Know your users – understand what motivates them to change behaviour.

•Timing is important – when are users most receptive to messages. Reminders at the decision point. Feedback at the point of experience.

•Build a relationship for change – trusted partnership, people don’t understand how they can influence energy consumption.

•Create a condition for caring and action – design to respond to the motivations different people have for changing behaviour, some want to save money, some want to care for the environment, some are motivated simply by not wanting to waste.

Does MORE Data Mean More Engagement and More Behaviour Change

Make Energy Information Relevant

• People are influenced by their social network,

showing energy usage & behaviour in the

context of their peers, neighbours & family

helps make it a subject they engage with

• How does my energy use compare with

colleagues, other offices, teams?
