Abstract [sv]

Elkonsumtion är ett ämne med både personliga och globala ändamål. Det gynnar  den privata ekonomin likväl som miljöbelastningen. För att spara el är det  fördelaktigt om man förstå mekanismerna i elförbrukningen. De senaste åren har  det skapats både hårdvara och mjukvara för att överblicka elförbrukningen i detalj  än bara den totala energiförbrukningen. Studerar man varje elektrisk apparats  förbrukning över till exempel ett år ökas därmed insikten om hur hushållets  energiförbrukning är fördelad.     En app har designats för att presentera denna information. Användare får gå  igenom appen för att sedan testas för att se om de kan förstå och använda appen.  Testerna visar att användarna har ökat sin förståelse genom visualiseringen av  datan som presenteras i appen. 

Abstract [en]

Consumption of electricity is a subject with both personal and global purposes.  Reducing the use of power is positive both for the private finances and the  environment. In order to make such a reduction, it is helpful to understand how  the electricity is spent. In the recent years both hardware and software solutions to  display more detailed information on an individual’s consumption than just their  total use. If they could see how much their devices use and how their usage levels  changes over a year, they might increase their understanding of how they spend  their electricity.     An app has been designed to show this information. Users can then use the app for  a while before being tested with questions that can only be answered correctly by  using the app. These tests do show that the users have increased their  understanding of their electricity consumption
