ABSTRACT
This paper describes a low cost eco-feedback energy monitoring research platform. The prototype system developed in Quartz Composer uses the computer's audio input and a current transformer to calculate real-time energy usage while also offering multiple visualization options and tracking human-activities. The prototype is being used in a multidisciplinary research project to understand the long-term effects of eco-feedback and enduring behavioral changes towards practices that promote sustainability.

SINAIS from Fanal: design and evaluation of an art-inspired eco-feedback system
CHItaly '13: Proceedings of the Biannual Conference of the Italian Chapter of SIGCHIIn this paper we present the challenges exposed during the designing, implementing and assessment of a novel eco-feedback system resulting from the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), and Digital Art. We explore how a digital art mode of ...
A circular economy model of economic growth
The main purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical model incorporating the concept of circular economic activities. We construct a circular economy model with two types of economic resources, namely, a polluting input and a recyclable input. ...
