The pilot, with device, which would change smell in the room depending on amount of energy used. When use of energy does not exceed the limit the smell in the room is pleasant, but when too much energy is used the device starts to spread stinky essence.
The advantage of that idea is that it can REALLY force user to reduce use of energy. But there is not many people who would actually buy such a device. Who would like bad smell in the room?
Idea 2.
Pilot with a device using sound instead, so when too much energy is being used the device warns you with a beep-beep sound.
This idea is better, because it definetely might work, although it still need to be developed.
Idea 3.
Instead of smell or sound little toy is going to be used. Little man will warn user about amount of energy used by sadly lowering his hands. His hans would work as arrows showing how much is actually used on the color scale behind him.
I like this idea because it could be fun to have such a character in the house and his sadness would help to affect user's feelings.
Idea 4.
The idea of social competition between families or friends. The interface would ask user for number of kwh used, compare with data from other users and determine the winner. (The person or family who uses the lowest amount of energy).
On one hand this kind of interface could arouse interest in users. But on the other hand it could bore them quite soon. (I guess after few weeks of competition).
