Inter-generation influences on households heating controls

此前的研究表明，不同世代在技术的采用和使用上存在显著差异，被定义为“沉默的一代”、“婴儿潮一代”、“X世代”、“千禧一代”和“Z世代”。但关于一代人对另一代人在使用技术，特别是供暖控制方面的影响，我们知之甚少。家庭供暖控制指的是散热器控制、恒温器、定时器和/或开关。它们的界面从直接控制(例如可操作的窗户)到远程和智能控制(例如恒温器)各不相同。本研究项目旨在探讨代际因素对家庭供暖控制的影响。

Previous research has shown significant differences in the adoption and the use of technologybetween generations; defined as 'silent', 'boomers', 'generation X', 'millennials' and 'generation Z'.However less is known on the influence of one generation to another generation in the use oftechnology and in particular heating controls. Home heating controls refer to radiator controls,thermostats, timers and/or switches. Their interfaces vary from direct control (e.g. operablewindows) to remote and smart controls (e.g. thermostats). This research project aims to exploreinter-generation influences on household heating controls.
