Energy saving (ES) at home often can be achieved via behavioral, technological, or organizational changes. In this study, we propose an adaptive and activity-aware eco-feedback system to facilitate behavioral changes for energy saving. This system provides eco-feedbacks in the event of an activity transition to avoid constantly disturbing user’s on-going activities, and the content of a feedback is composed in the form of ecological and abstract information visualization on an ambient display to improve readability. In addition, it can adaptively and automatically adjust its notification lev-el based on user's interaction with the system, which aims to bring out energy conservation of one’s own accord. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative evaluations, the system can lead to pro-environmental behaviors in a more non-obtrusive way and helps build an emotional bond to the nature.
