Description

How can we individually improve our energy consumption?  We might think about  reducing our carbon footprint, but to improve our behavior, we need to effectively measure our individual usage.Architect Dorit Aviv is doing just that with a distributed energy monitoring and environmental sensing network using blockchain technology, which she is leading together with Professor William Braham at the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design.  Specializing in energy and ecology, they are experimenting in this project with an opt-in data system for performance tracking and reward system. She shares how this not only creates conscious energy usage but incentivizes  good performance. We are getting a peak at the beginning stages of a sustainability resource that can quickly scale.   Further info is described on Dorit Aviv's Thermal Architecture Lab website.
