摘要: This paper presents current research in the design of the domestic environment and “intelligent” usercontrol system for North House, a prototype solar-powered dwelling being developed for the 2009 Solar Decathlon. The residential occupant needs to operate as both user and manager of a green dwelling, and thus requires both specific information and access to help the building work more efficiently. The domestic environment requires a means of control, display and integration with user lifestyle that possesses different challenges than workplace-designed buildings. The Adaptive Living Interface System, being developed for North House, comprises of interactive technologies combined with ambient and haptic information cues, that help the residential occupant to both control the systems of the house while at the same time providing feedback on the operation of the house, in this way supporting behavioural transformation for energy saving living patterns.
