Abstract
Efficient feedback on energy consumption is regarded as one
step towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Sonification is very apt
to convey such information continuously in an ambient and effective
way. This paper presents a pilot system for sonifying the
electric power consumption of an institute’s kitchen. The reverberation
of the kitchen is changed depending on the actual consumption
and its difference to a weekly baseline. If the actual consumption
is low, it is mapped to a plausible kitchen reverberation. If it
is high compared to the baseline, the reverberation becomes unnatural.
Evaluating the system gave insights on perceptibility and
acceptance of auditory augmentation in a semi-home context.
