Hi everyone, I’m Manuel and I’m working on a master’s degree thesis at the Polytechnic University of Milan on the future of energy efficiency and flexibility in the residential sector (in households to be clear). I’m collecting experiences from early adopters of new technologies like solar/EVs/Heat pumps/Dynamic Pricing/Flexibility etc. to understand the shortcomings of the current situation and potential opportunities to design better products/services and systems focused around the users needs and motivations.

I’ve seen a wide range of emotions and experiences in this field and would like to investigate it a bit more, I’ve seen this subreddit is pretty active in energy discussion so I would be very grateful if you would like to spend two minutes sharing your experience in this short and anonymous survey.

https://forms.gle/jJCGopwdhcdBLmmM9

Also if you would like to have a talk about the topic or discuss what could be the future of the energy management experience and help designing a future product/system, you can write here in the comment or dm me. Thank you so much and if you have any suggestions on where to share the survey I’d really appreciate it

    This isn’t about power monitoring, it’s about eco-shifting. Those are very different things!

    I use power monitoring to figure out when things that aren’t smart are on/off. IDGAF about being more green; when I need to use my appliances I need to use them, period!
