Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Colley, J. A., Bedwell, B., Crabtree, A., & Rodden, T. (2013). Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring. doi:10.1007/978-3-642-40498-6_6

This paper explores the measurement, apportionment and representation of widespread energy monitoring. We explicate the accountability to users of the data collected by this type of monitoring when it is presented to them as a single daylong picture....
