能源和水消费反馈的试验和评估是基于对消费作为一个理性和个人决策过程的理解而进行的。本文借鉴了两种不同的消费概念,以了解通过家庭显示器(IHD)提供的消费反馈的作用和有效性。第一个考虑消费是如何通过能源和水供应的社会技术系统来调节的,第二个将其视为社会实践的一部分,如洗衣,吃饭和取暖。本文利用这些概念化的访谈和图尔斯与28个澳大利亚家庭参加三个独立的IHD反馈方案的定性数据集进行分析。文章发现IHD是一种重要的可视化工具,可以照亮原本不可见的能源和供水系统。然而,它们有可能使某些做法合法化,并忽视那些被认为不可谈判的做法。文章的结论是,IHD可以发挥作用,使社会技术系统的能源和水的供应更相关的住户的日常生活,并在质疑和辩论不可谈判的做法。这将需要重新定位和模糊资源提供者和消费者的作用和责任。作为一种能够在家庭内外延伸的中介设备,IHD提供了一个独特的平台,可以将其角色重新定位到这些目标。
Trials and evaluations of energy and water consumption feedback are premised on understandings of consumption as a rational and individual decision-making process. This article draws on two alternative conceptualizations of consumption to understand the role and effectiveness of consumption feedback delivered through an in-home display (IHD). The first considers how consumption is mediated by socio-technical systems of energy and water provision, and the second views it as part of social practices such as laundering, eating and heating. The article draws on these conceptualizations to analyse a qualitative dataset of interviews and tours with 28 Australian households participating in three separate IHD feedback programmes. The article finds that IHDs are an important visualization tool that illuminate otherwise invisible systems of energy and water provision. However, they have the potential to legitimize particular practices and to overlook those considered non-negotiable. The article concludes that IHDs can play a role in making socio-technical systems of energy and water provision more relevant to householders’ everyday lives, and in questioning and debating non-negotiable practices. This will necessitate repositioning and blurring the roles and responsibilities of resource providers and consumers. As a mediating device with the ability to extend both inside and outside the home, the IHD provides a unique platform for reorienting its role towards these ends.
