Via: OuterArc – Serious Games to Make Energy Use More Visible in Your Building
OuterArc wants to make the world a more energy efficient place to live.
The Effectiveness of Feedback On Energy Consumption
Their survey reveals that employees want to do their bit and are increasingly seeing saving money around the workplace as part of their responsibility. This could help most businesses to save up to 20% on energy bills.
The norm is for savings from direct feedback (direct from the meter or an associated display monitor) to range from 5%-15%.
OuterArc believes engaging employees and occupants is the best way for organizations to make an immediate impact on reducing energy and carbon emissions. OuterArc provides Serious Games to do this. By giving people easy to digest info and targets they make people think.
KyotoTV is their first low cost, high impact application, providing feedback on energy usage throughout corporate buildings.
OuterArc vision is to create a software platform which allows organizations to engage their employees to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. They do this in a way that provides easy to digest information, reaching everyone throughout their day and actively encouraging participation.
According to the website, to get data into their application, they put in a simple device that collects data from customers’ meters. They are also working on an API, which details are to be available soon.
They can accommodate customizations and bespoke designs. Pricing details will be up on the website soon.
