This experiment investigated the combined use of visual prompts, daily feedback, and rewards to reduce electricity consumption in a university residential hall. After a 17-day baseline period, the experimental intervention was introduced in the intervention hall, and no change was made in the control hall. Energy usage decreased in the intervention hall, but energy usage did not change appreciably in the control hall. In the intervention hall, mean daytime and nighttime savings were 16.2% and 10.7%, respectively, compared to savings of 3.8% (day) and 6.5% (night) in the control hall.
本实验研究了视觉提示、每日反馈和奖励相结合的方法，以减少大学宿舍的用电量。在 17 天的基线期后，实验干预措施在干预宿舍实施，而对照宿舍没有变化。干预宿舍的能源使用量有所下降，但对照宿舍的能源使用量没有明显变化。在干预宿舍，白天和夜间的平均节省分别为 16.2%和 10.7%，而对照宿舍的节省分别为 3.8%（白天）和 6.5%（夜间）。
