educational value of technologies incorporated
2) Socially comparative real-time data feedback in “brown” buildings allows occupants to teach themselves how to be better penvironmental stewards (“creates smart people in dumb buildings”)
3) Impact can likely be enhanced through use of multiple currencies, multiple modes and multiple scales of feedback• Currencies: Water, Gas, Electricity, Energy, $, GHGs• Modes: Internet, Orbs, Public Displays• Scale: Room Dorm/House/Business Community
