A series of energy control devices with
the brand Ctrl to reduce and personalize energy consumption
in the house. Our product concepts have been generated from the
suggestions from our “Low carb-on dioxide” booklet. We tried to find
simple, low-tech solutions to decrease our energy consumption by
changing some behaviors just a bit. We see our products as means of
increasing our awareness of how energy is used and for stimulating
changes in energy behavior. Revisiting the design of everyday things
with a focus on issues related to energy use, we are developing a
palette of critical design examples.
