在家庭显示器 (IHD) 上提供能源消耗反馈在政府减少国内能源需求的战略中发挥着重要作用。研究表明，IHD 可以支持减少能源消耗，但 IHD 的参与可能仅限于男性，而且通常是短期的。在本文中，我们借鉴了智能社区中进行的研究，这是一个为期两年的项目，其中电力和燃气消耗反馈发挥了关键作用。这项研究的独特之处在于它伴随着每周一次的电子邮件通信计划，并且是在社区行动的背景下提供的。项目研究结果表明，虽然绝不是万能药，但此类方法可以支持长期参与能源消耗反馈（包括女性），并且可以支持行为改变。
The provision of energy consumption feedback on in-home displays (IHDs) has a prominent role in government strategies for domestic energy demand reduction. Research suggests that IHDs can support energy consumption reduction, but also that engagement with IHDs can be limited to men and is often short-term. In this paper, we draw on research carried out in Smart Communities, a two-year project in which electricity and gas consumption feedback played a key role. This study was distinctive because it was accompanied by a weekly email communications programme and was provided within the context of community action. Project findings suggest that, although by no means panaceas, approaches such as these can support long-term engagement with energy consumption feedback, including by women, and can support behaviour change.
