Abhigyan Singh presented on social energy exchanges for emerging decentralized neighborhoods. Singh discussed early explorations of energy sharing concepts through gaming and vehicle-to-community studies. More recent work involved setting up people-controlled energy kiosks in two off-grid villages in India to study peer-to-peer energy exchanges. Singh's research identified three types of returns - in-cash, in-kind, and intangible returns. The study found energy exchanges involved complex social and cultural dimensions beyond rational economic transactions. Singh recommended designing energy services that consider various social relations and values and interconnect energy and local economies.
Municipalities today are constantly challenged while trying to improve the level of service to their citizens. In this session we will introduce the concept of Smart Water and show how we can lead the charge in providing value to citizens.

Distributed, Renewable and Interactive energy Systems (DRIs) are revolutionizing the concept of infrastructure by introducing a set of
new properties. The implications of the new system properties in the realm of Urban Design are often neglected. This paper proposes a procedure to reconcile DRIs and urban patterns. This procedure is tested on 23 school buildings in four urban regions of the Ostiense district in Rome. Findings suggest that the identification of existing buildings as active, neutral and passive nodes in DRIs can make a contribution to Urban Design decisions to exploit the renewable energy production capacity inherent in urban patterns.

Distributed renewable and interactive energy systemsmsibilla
European Policies consider a multitude of Low Carbon Technologies to transform cities to Low Carbon Cities. Some of these technologies can form distributed systems. These are new forms of Energy Networks which can contribute to reducing the vulnerability and homogenization of urban patterns as they evolve to become part of the urban infrastructure. This evolution process also involves computerizing elements of the infrastructure, and thus relates to the Smart City concept. In this sense, a Distributed and Renewable energy system becomes interactive promoting a set of novel system properties. Following a qualitative approach, this paper presents an innovative conceptual framework in order to establish, communicate and disseminate these new system properties
Each project described here is an outcome of a nearly
4 week long design exercise on understanding the
context of energy conservation, interactive installations,
prototyping (with arduino, fiducial, flash, hacking toys)
as well as exercises such as team building.

Hourly Energy Sharing Model of Peer-to-Peer PV Prosumers for Microgrids with ...Plabon Saha
Local uses of photovoltaic (PV) energy within neighborhood PV prosumers become more economical than the individual operation of prosumers. In the present work, the hourly optimized total cost of energy sharing of peer-to-peer (P2P) PV prosumers for a microgrid is proposed. Initially, a dynamic internal pricing model is prepared for the energy sharing operation. Furthermore, considering the adjustable load of prosumers, an equiponderant cost model is formulated concerning economic costs and user interest. Finally, the formulated cost model is transformed into an optimization problem and is solved using the krill herd algorithm to get the ultimate optimized hourly total cost of energy sharing. This optimized cost provides the maximum economic profit to all the participating PV prosumers in the microgrid.

Micheel, I., Novak, J., Fraternali, P., Baroffio, G., Castelletti, A., and Rizzoli, A.-E., "Visualizing & gamifying water & energy consumption for behavior change". Paper presentation at Fostering Smart Energy Applications (FSEA) 2015 workshop at Interact2015. Bamberg, 15 Sep 2015. Workshop proceedings available here: http://it4se.informatik.fh-augsburg.de/FSEA15/proceedings.html
The paper presented in the slides considers the structural similarities in approaches and lessons learned in the development of applications for behavior change in water and energy saving. We show how the domains of water and energy are related and propose a first set of design guidelines for building such solutions, especially regarding visualization and gamification of water and/or energy consumption. We exemplify how such guidelines can be applied with the designs and prototypes of a gamified application for water saving behavior change from our SmartH2O project. Based on feedback from user and stakeholder workshops and online discussions, we discuss how the initial design guidelines synthesized from the literature have been refined. In a next step, we will validate them by deploying the implemented prototype in real- world trials with several thousand smart-metered households in the UK, Switzerland and Spain.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

“neighbours don’t sell surplus of apples or

“instead of getting 5-10 euros in a month for
selling my energy, I will prefer if someone
works with me in my garden for a hour in
a month”
“my son charges his e-car at my place and I would
not ask him to pay me”
24. FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Pluralize local energy exchange economy by moving beyond ‘energy-for-money’ thinking
2. Interconnect energy economy with economy of in-kind things (goods, services, labour…)
3. Consider various types of social relations and associated values to design for energy exchanges
4. Study how people live life in neighbourhoods to design energy services
5. Remember an energy exchange is not only an economic event but also a complex sociocultural process
