Thesis (Ph.D.)

Includes bibliographical references

Global energy consumption is rapidly increasing, while natural energy resources are shrinking. U.S. households closely follow second to Norway in consuming the highest average of electricity among the OECD countries (Industrial countries). The average percentage of electricity waste per homeowner in the U.S can reach as high as 41%. Electricity waste within the residential sector can be reduced through two strategies: the promotion of energy efficiency and energy curtailment.

520 $a Global energy consumption is rapidly increasing, while natural energy resources are shrinking. U.S. households closely follow second to Norway in consuming the highest average of electricity among the OECD countries (Industrial countries). The average percentage of electricity waste per homeowner in the U.S can reach as high as 41%. Electricity waste within the residential sector can be reduced through two strategies: the promotion of energy efficiency and energy curtailment.
520 $a Although there is an abundance of persuasive technology studies, that are designed to reduce households electricity consumption by altering their consuming behavior, there are few studies that have succeeded in developing solutions for sustainable conservative behavior. This dissertation learns from the knowledgebase (Scientific field) and the environment (problem domain) to design, build and evaluate two persuasive technologies: BrightDark and GreenCrowd. These solutions are built to educate, motivate and support families to overcome their own barriers toward sustainable energy conservative behavior. The present dissertation adopts Geller's pro-environmental model to build staged interventions to educate families about their risky habits, motivate them to perform positive actions, and support them to maintain their actions until they become habits.
520 $a BrightDark is a novel persuasive approach. It uses e-fotonovela (art-based research) and text messages to provide households with a customized awareness solution to reduce their electricity consumption based on either cost or environmental concern. The e-fotonovela demonstrates the desirable behavior to indirectly educate households on how to reduce electricity consumption. The e-fotonovela content is generated by a dynamic system that observes households motivations and provides them with the suitable content (financial or environmental story line). The e-fotonovela also encourages households to subscribe in a text-messaging program that was developed to directly educate subscribers about attainable saving tips. Hence, direct and indirect persuasion routes were implemented in delivering this instructional intervention. GreenCrowd provides self-tracking, social comparison, and social facilitation services as motivational interventions. Aside from these motivational interventions, GreenCrowd addresses families' barriers to overcome any specific limitations from the desired behavior. The Rigor Cycle of DSR helps to enrich the design and build phase with the families' barriers and motivations toward electricity conservation.
520 $a In addition, this study incorporates a novel notification method that keeps the entire house informed rather than notifying only those who downloaded the application. A smart LED lamp was developed to light certain colors based on electricity consumption. This comprehensive notification device is a support intervention to help participants to maintain their actions toward reducing electricity consumption.
520 $a Following Gregor and Hevner, (2013) [1] classification for Design Science Research (DSR) contribution, this dissertation has five level-1 instantiations (BrightDark App, BrightDark text-messaging system, GreenCrowd App, LED lamp as a novel notification technology, GreenCrowd cloud-based system (Backend system)). In addition this dissertation presents four design principles for direct and indirect persuasive technology routes. This knowledge contribution is considered as a level-2 contribution to design theory as stated in Gregor and Hevner, (2013) [1]. Finally, the contribution includes the design & build and evaluate phases of the information and communications technology (ICT) artifacts (BrightDark and GreenCrowd). The evaluation phase discusses not only the measuring of the solutions usability and their effectiveness but also the measuring of the change in participants' pro-environmental behaviors by tracking differences in behavioral determinants (e.g. knowledge, attitude, motivation, actual behavior) before and after the interventions. This Dissertation is a design science research approach (DSR) to reduce household electricity consumption via persuasive technology through the application of instructional, motivational, and, supportive behavioral interventions.
