Energise

This is a concept design project we did at Video Prototyping Workshop at CIID / DKDS (Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design and The Danish Design School). The goal was to convey the idea of how a system named Energise could work in changing someone's behavior from wasting energy to saving energy. In the story, the fictional company Energise is an electricity providing company, of which the fictional character Li is a customer. Li receives electricity from Energise with a monthly cap. She can use Energise's online web interface to manage her electricity account. Addtionally, "Energise battery", a physical monitering system is installed on the appliances at Li's home, so that she can visualize her home's energy consumption in real time. Upon exceeding the monthly electricity cap, Li's home will suffer from blackout. She can subsequently "borrow" electricity / energy through her Energise online account, in much the same way that we borrow money or any other tangible objects in real life.

I hope that the electric company doesnt start rationing how much electricity I can use.

I have been away for 8 hours today. When I left home, I left on all of my lights, tv, and computer on. All of my lights have been on since Monday. How much electricity have I wasted?
