ALIS: an interactive ecosystem for sustainable living

Published: 26 September 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Engaging occupants in conservation efforts is a key part of reducing our ecological footprint. To this end, we have developed the Aware Living Interface System (ALIS), an integrated in-home system that supports residents in awareness of resource use, facilitates efficient control of house systems, and encourages conservation in daily activities. Initial responses from deployments in two high-profile sustainable homes indicate the potential and challenges involved in supporting sustainable living.
