Merging a practice-orientated approach with an engineering-driven product development: a case study on home improvement
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2012.046137 | Victoria Haines; Val Mitchell; Becky Mallaband | CALEBRE, a four year research project, is developing technologies to improve the energy efficiency of solid-walled housing in the UK, particularly in the owner occupied market. The engineering partners within the project require very specif... | 28 - 49 |
Exploring behavioural psychology to support design for sustainable behaviour research
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2012.046137 | Johannes Zachrisson; Casper Boks | Increased focus in research on the environmental consequences of behaviour and product use in the last decade has resulted in a number of proposed different design strategies that may stimulate desired behavioural patterns or help avoiding ... | 50 - 66 |
Identifying design opportunities for reduced household resource consumption: exploring practices of thermal comfort
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2012.046137 | Lenneke Kuijer; Annelise De Jong | Heating of dwellings forms a large portion of society's energy use. To avoid the lock-in infrastructures and increasingly demanding expectations of comfort caused by technologies that aim to offer comfort in more energy efficient ways, ... | 67 - 85 |
Insights into the design, use and implementation of home energy management systems
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2012.046137 | S.S. Van Dam; C.A. Bakker; J.D.M. Van Hal | Between 2008 and 2011, three different home energy management systems (HEMS) that give feedback on energy consumption were implemented in households in the Netherlands. Home energy management systems are defined as intermediary devices that... | 86 - 101 |
Exploring the use of a game to stimulate energy saving in households
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2012.046137 | Daphne Geelen; David Keyson; Stella Boess; Han Brezet | This paper presents a study called the Energy Battle, a game aimed at encouraging home occupants to save energy.

Sustainable clothing design: use matters
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2012.046137 | Kirsi Laitala; Casper Boks | Many life cycle assessment studies document that the use period is the most resource-demanding phase during the clothing life cycle. In this paper, we discuss how design can help to reduce the environmental impacts of clothing. Motives behi... | 121 - 139 |
