Social Energy Meter

Creating a shared space might be as simple as giving a management team a better perspective on their energy use, or empowering employees to contribute to savings by giving them information that lets them see the consequences of their behaviour.

And as more elements within our physical spaces become network-connected, the Shaspa Social Energy Meter can build feedback-loops, so that mass behaviour create a beneficial effect.

For example, real-time data can influence adverts and information presented on a digital signage network within a workspace. This immediately creates the potential for a shared space. Digital Signage can show instantaneous energy consumption, with targets and potential rewards: “If you can keep consumption below a six hour average 50KWph, you can all go home ten minutes early”, or “If you switch off enough lights, someone, selected from a draw, gets a weekend in Paris”.

In shopping malls, this Social Energy Meter can influence the behaviour of shoppers. Shoppers would be given the chance to vote by text how many degrees they are willing to have the temperature raised in the summer or lowered in the winter. This would be democratic because the temperature can be voted up or down – within limits that would not be hazardous or uncomfortable to frail shoppers. The savings would be significant, and could be used to fund a prize that would act as an incentive to the shoppers to take part by accepting a small decline in their comfort. It could even lead to a direct, proportional lowering of prices, facilitated by lower of rent and energy costs to the retail outlets within the mall.

As a side benefit, the Shaspa Social Energy Meter can supply real-time information to indoor and outdoor digital advertising campaigns, so that adverts can be selected on the basis of a relevant criterion, like precipitation, temperature, humidity and sunshine.
