This thesis examine whether the same conditions can be applicable to the other domestic appliances or not. For this examination, 2 high energy consumption domestic appliances, TV and AC (Air Conditioner), are selected and considered how users’ motivation and attitude change with/without eco-indications. It was confirmed that the necessity of careful selection of “IN PUT display” (visualizing a user’s activity) or “OUT PUT display” (visualizing the result of a user’s activity) by a user’s interest and characteristics of each appliance. The effect of quick feedback was confirmed again, too. On the other hand, it was revealed that the consideration for visibility, understandability and appropriate changes are necessary.
