Ubiquitous Interaction

THANK YOU!

Service and User Experience Innovation Ubiquitous interfaces support active users in – Monitor the consumption and understand the effects of different choices – Control with more precision power consuming appliances and systems (lights, heating, etc.) – Share consumption practices in groups and communities. This can create opportunities for learning better practices or incentives for adopting virtuous behaviours.

Introduction Proposed STREP Project to Call 2 Strategic Objective 6.3 (ICT for Environmental Management and Energy Efficiency) Focus c (ICT for Energy Intensive Systems) New and affordable ICT for Energy-intensive Systems for: – Design and simulation of energy use profiles covering the entire life-cycle of energy-intensive products, services and processes – Intelligent and interactive monitoring of energy production, distribution, trading and use – Innovative tools, business models and platforms for energy efficiency service provision – Focus on Efficient management of local power grids Energy-neutral home/working environments
