Abstract:
This paper present energy consumer knowledge, through eco-visualization evolution in an attempt to identify how solutions, and their related technologies are evolving and what the perspectives for the future of the field are. Consumer awareness of energy use showed to be one of the roots to energy conservation. Technology, through digital artifacts, appears as an important factor to provide better feedbacks and, among with this, eco-visualization appears as one key enabler. The analysis was conducted by an ontological design and sustainable interaction perspective. This short paper presents this analysis and how eco-visualization solutions evolved through time in complexity and interactivity with features including, among other things, motivational and persuasive aspects and a tendency to use ubiquitous technologies.
