Collaborative Research: Mobilizing Information Technology Systems to Motivate Reduced Energy Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emissions

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这项研究将利用移动技术和传感器，为个人提供有关其碳排放的个人反馈和如何改进的建议。该项目将以交通运输活动为重点，有三个重点：(1)使用商品移动电话感知个人碳足迹；(2)在网络和手机上开发反馈可视化，支持对碳足迹的现场意识，明确处理用户界面层面的不确定性问题；(3)验证和测试交通运输领域的技术。现场部署将探索所采用传感器的相对准确性，以及可视化对用户识别哪些地区有可能减少的影响。CMU的绿色设计学徒计划将包括在高中推广。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). 0854399/0854445 Mankoff/Landay This research will leverage mobile technologies and sensors to empower individuals with personal feedback about their carbon emissions and suggestions on how to improve. The project will be on transportation activities, with three foci: (1) sensing individual carbon footprints using commodity mobile phones, (2) developing feedback visualizations on the web and on phones that support in-the-place awareness about carbon footprints that explicitly handle issues of uncertainty at the user interface level, and (3) validating and testing techniques in the domain of transportation. Field deployments will explore the relative accuracy of the sensors employed and the impact of visualizations on users' ability to identify which areas represent opportunities for reduction. High school outreach will be included through CMU's Green Design Apprenticeship program.
