New idea from Tring lecture
After the lecture from a few of the creators of Tring it changed my ideas on energy monitoring devices. How the average person does not want to have to read graphs or numbers which have no meaning or relevance. Or even the sight of money ticking over still isn't the right path to follow as that still has no real relevance. But rather to create something to change their feelings or sub-consciousness toward power consumption. After that lecture I had an idea for a new way to show people how much power was being used. An object which you would have in your lounge or common area which would glow according to how much power was being consumed at the time. This object would be some type of ornament (not sure what yet, maybe something like a lava lamp). The object would just be a part of the room and would give the people a subconscious reminder of power being used. The object would glow green on low usage and slowly change to yellow, orange and red as more power is being consumed. It would have to be a small object or not very intrusive, just a small reminder that power is always on and showing when large amounts are being used.
