Power of dashboard

Strava

 

Strava made me run 15 miles on Sunday night at 8:45PM just to keep my weekly mileage in motion.

If there was no graph/ dashboard in Strava, I certainly would not run that long distance. It was because I didn’t want to let my graph go downwards but keep upwards. Since it’s socially shared, it matters more.

When simple & accurate measurement shared with people, it’s a powerful motivation.

What if we apply this to building energy? What if monthly building energy consumption is shared with people? Wouldn’t it be a joyful motivation for people to be more aware and save energy?
