Open data + social capital = altruistic punishment

Do we believe this kind of graphic will persuade people to act?

Will this make it better?

What do individuals need to feel comfortable in doing their bit?

1. To believe others in their groups are contributing2. To believe the contribution is meaningful in the real world

in other words:

• To feel confident a few people are not cheating the system• At least not enough to mean net energy consumption

continues to rise

Aims:• To understand the role of ICT in reducing energy consumption of a

large scale public building through the design of an ICT interface connecting building users to their electricity consumption.

Objectives:• To design and test an ICT tool connecting building users to their

energy consumption. • To engage in an innovative, deliberative upstream approach in the

design of the application. • To understand the extent to which building users can impact the

performance of the environment they are in.• To understand the impact of ICT interfaces on user behaviour
