This document is about a sprint to explore connecting communities to renewable energy supply on the Scottish island of Tiree. The sprint will involve co-designing technology with the local community to increase awareness of renewable energy sources and investigate how everyday practices and attitudes towards energy as a community resource can shift based on renewable supply. Participants will engage in dialogue and create artifacts with the local community, such as an energy indicator, to help address questions around exploiting green energy sources.

3. Connecting to Supply
Exploring the connection between existing communities and available renewable energy
can we think differently about energy supply and
adjust everyday practices to exploit green energy?

4. a community where renewables are in the public
eye; on the edge of supply; where we have
opportunity - but still connected
Tiree

5. TechWaves afford the opportunity to engage the
community on Tiree; co-design and co-creation of
artefacts
Community led

6. Dialogue and artefacts
local energy indicator, Pierce, DIS 2012

7. Questions?
what everyday practices can shift based on
renewable supply? what is the attitude to energy as
a community resource?
