Talk 1

Making energy easy

Ben Maxwell

How can you use design to help people change their relationship with energy? How could this work over product and web? What do we do about reluctant users? These are some of the questions that we've been asking at Onzo, where we are developing an energy meter and web service.

Talk 2

Design with Intent: How designers can influence behaviour

Dan Lockton

Whatever we design – products, services, environments, systems – we have an opportunity to influence user behaviour. Bringing together ideas from different disciplines, ‘Design with Intent’ aims to give designers a way of addressing areas where influencing behaviour would provide benefits for users and for society in general – particularly, reducing the environmental impacts of product use.
