生态反馈系统目前将户主定位为微资源管理者，他们权衡自己消费的成本和收益，并做出自主、理性和高效的决定。报告了对三个澳大利亚能源和水生态反馈项目利用家庭显示器(IHD)系统进行的定性研究的结果，本文对这一观点提出了质疑。研究发现，住户在洗澡、洗衣和降温等日常活动中消耗能源和水，这些活动受到社会、文化、技术和制度动态的影响。本文提出了一种以日常生活现实为前提的生态反馈系统的替代设计范式，并确定了从这一新起点出现的几个设计方向。
Eco-feedback systems currently frame householders as micro-resource managers, who weigh up the costs and benefits of their consumption, and make autonomous, rational and efficient decisions. Reporting on findings from a qualitative study of three Australian energy and water eco-feedback programs utilising an in-home display (IHD) system, this paper challenges this view. The research finds that householders consume energy and water to carry out everyday practices, such as showering, laundering and cooling, which are mediated by social, cultural, technical and institutional dynamics. The paper proposes an alternative design paradigm for eco-feedback systems premised on the realities of everyday life and identifies several design directions that emerge from this new starting point.
