Subject: [AUDITORY] Gentle reminder: fully funded PhD position at KTH, Stockholm. Project: Sonic Interaction Design to Support Energy Efficiency Behaviour in the Household From: Sandra Pauletto <pauletto@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2021 10:28:22 +0000--_000_e1c32935867649df94c8c9b36f139073kthse_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting. A gentle reminder of this fully funded PhD position at KTH, Stockholm, for = the project: Sonic Interaction Design to Support Energy Efficiency Behaviour in the Hous= ehold funded by Swedish Energy Agency. To apply (deadline 11 March 2021): https://www.kth.se/en/om/work-at-kth/led= iga-jobb/what:job/jobID:375624/type:job/where:4/apply:1 Summary Energy provides heating, lighting and more, but it affects the environment.= In Europe, households account for 25% of the energy-related greenhouse gas= emissions. Residential energy feedback could contribute to 5%=9610% energy= consumption reduction, but there are several barriers including those rela= ted to user behaviour. Visualisations of energy costs and savings are not e= nough: interventions must be tailored, frequent and engaging. Our novel approach will employ sound. We will design, develop and evaluate = real-time digital sonic interactions as augmentations of individual applian= ces and aggregated smart meters' outputs, which will promote energy efficie= ncy in the household. Without adding to the myriad of =93beeps=94 in our li= fe, we will create new everyday sounds meant to be felt, implicitly underst= ood, rather than listened to. Our procedural audio models, which can be emb= edded and personalized, will be based on our research on sound, interaction= design, behavior change, and energy. The project benefits from access to h= igh- resolution energy data of the KTH Live-in Lab (see https://www.liveinl= ab.kth.se) and its individual and shared spaces for testing.
