Project
Designing effective energy-saving information Based on four years of examination and research into the actual situation of energy conservation after the Great East Japan Earthquake, he reaffirmed that human consciousness and behavior are important in energy conservation, and focused on unconscious choice and behavior. At present, he is working on demonstrations of promoting energy-saving actions using 'Nudge' (casually prompting, similar to nudging someone with elbows). In addition to proposing technologies, it is important to pair this with evaluation.
