Dear colleagues,
sorry to send you again mail.
Due to latest news I want to inform you that the deadline for Abstract
submission for the thematic symposium "Do households save electricity
through feedback based on Smart Metering systems?" at the "Sustainable
consumption 2011" conference now ends May 24th, 2011 (23:59 GMT+1).
The conference "Sustainable consumption 2011" will give the international
and interdisciplinary scientific community an opportunity to present and
discuss new research findings on sustainable consumption. The focus of the
conference is on consumer behaviour, its social and cultural embeddedness,
and its interdependencies with institutional, economic, physical and
political frameworks.
One important topic of sustainable consumption is energy consumption in
households. This topic also receives high priority on the political agenda
of the European and German Federal legislation, which among other issues
have integrated the so-called Smart Meter into their climate protection
policy as an instrument to increase the energy efficiency in households.
The visualisation and feedback on hourly and daily energy consumption is
considered an innovative approach to change consumers‘ behaviour. Caused by
the political objectives and the continuous dissemination of Smart Metering
Systems in Europe, the effects of feedback on consumers‘ energy consumption
and behavior came into the focus of social
scientific research again.
The German research project Intelliekon was launched in 2008 with the
objective to offer insights in potential target groups, their needs, and
preferences concerning energy consumption information and their energy
behaviour while using feedback information based on Smart Metering.
Currently the project is analysing the data obtained from a more than
one-year field trial with more than 2000 households in Germany and Austria.
For the presentation and discussion of results we are organising a
scientific symposium at the "Sustainable consumption 2011" conference on 7
th November 2011 in Hamburg. The symposium "Do households save electricity
through feedback based on Smart Metering systems?" aims to link current
projects regarding the topics Smart Metering, feedback and savings
potentials from various countries and to give scientists and practitioners
the opportunity to exchange their experiences and insights in terms of
feedback on energy consumption.
Topics to be adressed:
results on savings
behavioural mechanims of feedback
target groups and specific designs ( in function, media and visual
design)
methodological approaches and future research
product applications
We would be very happy to welcome you in this event and I want to invite
you to contribute to the sessions with a paper about findings and
conclusions from your work. For the relevant topics and CfP as well as
procedures of submission please refer to the symposium flyer under

With kind regards
