This first use-case evaluation report sheds light on the Energy Trial; an initiative to engage people with energy savings by distributing energy monitors and providing recommendations to reduce carbon emissions.
The Citizen Engagement Portal is introduced as an application that aims at engaging people with energy savings and, consequently, with climate change issues.
Engaging people does not mean only attracting users to a social platform, but also getting them to use the platform and associated technologies to bring about improvements and social change.
This report discusses engagement strategies with the energy saving issue.
