Building Eco-feedback System and Occupants’ Energy Using Behavior

A circular economy is a new form of economy that aims to reduce resource usage with effective technological solutions. Eco-feedback systems are a powerful platform to that promoting sustainable behaviors to encourage building residents to save energy usage and participate in the circular economy. This review examines current studies of eco-feedback systems, with a focus on their theoretical foundations and design principles. Two case studies were introduced to illustrate a fully functional eco-feedback system and reveal the major considerations for the design of such a system. The findings of existing research highlight that long-term impact and effective information delivery is the key to promoting behavior changes. Overall, all these studies concluded that as a novel tool to encourage energy conservation behaviors, eco-feedback systems have significant potential in the development of a sustainable society and circular economy.
