Interviews
Collecting Experiences

As technology is integrated increasingly into everyday things, the need for user-centered design becomes evident in design and IT research. To be able to understand people’s relation to energy in their daily life, it is imperative to involve users – individuals, families and communities – in all stages of the design process. In the STATIC! project, we have worked with both ‘cultural probe’ and interview research methods to enquire into how people interact with and relate to energy. It is these experiences, stories and moments of interaction that inspire in the development of new ideas and concepts on energy use.

A series of interviews with families of various ages, background and housing were conducted as a way to gain knowledge and understanding about people’s perception and use of energy.
