This document discusses sensors, signals, and sense-making in human-energy relationships. It addresses the complex issues involved which require interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration. Humans must be considered at every stage of technology design, development, and implementation. The document references various studies and datasets on analyzing energy-related conversations on social media to better understand changing consumer energy behavior. It also discusses networks of energy semantics and transforming business ecosystems through shared visions and coalitions. Improving decision making is addressed, including reducing bias and balancing human and automated decision systems.

The
ini<al
purpose
of
construc<ng
of
this
dataset
was
to
assist
in
understanding
the
role
of
social
media
in
changing
consumer’s
energy
behavior.
We
believe
it
could
be
useful
for
other
purposes
as
well,
and
therefore
are
releasing
it
publicly.
Data
was
acquired
on
a
daily
basis
by
u<lizing
the
NodeXL

module
*xl1,
which
captured
the
latest

containing

(see
