Do home energy management systems make sense? Assessing their overall lifecycle impact
TLDR
In this article, an eco-cost and a cumulative energy demand (CED) method were used to analyze three distinct types of home energy management systems, and six scenarios were developed in order to find the break-even point, where einvested=esaved.About:

How LCA contributes to the environmental assessment of higher order effects of ICT application: A review of different approaches
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether and how case studies on environmental effects of ICT already take into account related higher-order effects, such as rebound and induction effects, and found that most studies chose an attributional LCA approach.

A review of intervention studies aimed at household energy conservation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of interventions aiming to encourage households to reduce energy consumption by changing individual knowledge and perceptions rather than changing contextual factors (i.e., pay-off structure) which may determine households' behavioral decisions.

Persuasive technology : using computers to change what we think and do
TL;DR: Fogg has coined the phrase Captology (an acronym for computers as persuasive technologies) to capture the domain of research, design, and applications of persuasive computers as mentioned in this paper, and has revealed how Web sites, software applications, and mobile devices can be used to change people's attitudes and behavior.

A behavior model for persuasive design
TL;DR: A new model for understanding human behavior is presented, which asserts that for a person to perform a target behavior, he or she must be sufficiently motivated, have the ability to perform the behavior, and be triggered to performed the behavior.

Talking about tactile experiences
TL;DR: A study exploring participants' verbalizations of their tactile experiences across two modulated tactile stimuli related to two important mechanoreceptors in the human hand proposes 14 categories for a human-experiential vocabulary based on the categorization of the findings.
