Abstract
摘要:隨著全球暖化的問題日益嚴重,二氧化碳的過度排放與能源使用的嚴重浪費已成為
世界各國急欲解決的議題。目前在規劃減碳與節能科技發展時多以技術為主要考量,鮮
少運用以人為中心進而創造社會價值的思考方式進行。但能源問題的發生,多源自於人
類自工業革命後,能源被運用於維持社會活動與社會基礎結構之運轉,最終以滿足人類
生理與心理的需求為依歸。面對減碳與節能此一全球性重大議題,傳統的思維方式都是
從提高能源轉換效率、開發再生能源、發展碳捕捉與封存技術等供應面著手。本計畫則
從人類根本的需求面切入問題,嘗試運用認知與行為科學的知識,輔以創新科技的效
能,讓使用者在不降低心理滿足層次的情況下,自願降低能源使用量與碳排放量,進而
養成減碳與節能的好習慣。長遠來看,認知與行為的改變才是最省成本,而且最具社會
效益的方法。
本計畫將人在日常生活的行為區分為室內與室外活動,透過在室內進行誘導式減碳
與節能,將可改變個人的行為模式,養成居家生活與工作環境節能與減碳的好習慣。而
在室外誘導式減碳與節能,則可減少空氣污染對個人健康造成的傷害並提供綠化策略,
減少整體二氧化碳排放。為逐步發展並完成以認知科學為基礎的室內外誘導式減碳與節
能之有效性實證,本計畫規劃四大分項,分別為(1)行為模式研究;(2)居家與工作環境之
誘導式減碳與節能;(3)減碳地圖;(4)感測器、無線感測網路、能量收集技術。藉此四個
分項的整合,我們將在三年後完成以認知科學為基礎之室內減碳節能平台、室外減碳地
圖平台與誘導式減碳節能社群網站,提供誘導式減碳與節能之有效性實證。
本研究預期可於三年內發表期刊論文共 16 篇,申請專利共8 件,並衍生產學合作
共3 件以上。此外,本計畫預期在社會與經濟面可提供之短期效益包括(1)藉由實證,瞭
解不同誘導策略在不同人、事、時、地、物對減碳與節能的有效性,提供政府單位訂定
減碳與能源政策之參考;(2)有效節省室內空間之使用者每人每年約1000 度電之消耗與
600 公斤二氧化碳的排放量,以目前所預計約200 位受測者之應用展示規模,將可展現
節省每年約20 萬度電與120 噸二氧化碳之效益;(3)減碳地圖可結合行政院環保署或地方
政府環保局的綠化政策,以給予其有效之綠化規劃建議。對中、長期而言,本計畫建置
於室內空間之平台因建構於基礎認知科學,應可重複實現於其他居家與工作場域,衍生
的效益將可隨導入的人數增加而呈線性增加。而室外的減碳地圖也能進一步協助政府於
大規模都市綠化之規劃,以全面性提升整體空氣品質,降低二氧化碳所造成的全球暖化
效應。整體而言,清楚地瞭解何種減碳與節能誘導策略必須配合科技導入才能有效達
成,更將能深入發掘趨勢與需求,為未來產業提供重大商機。除此之外,建置在認知科
學與實證為基礎的成功誘導經驗將可轉換至其他領域,協助解決未來其他公共財與私有
財的相關議題。
Abstract: Global warming and energy depletion have become a pressing issue worldwide. Facing
this, problem-solving strategies have often resorted to technology-oriented development, e.g.,
energy efficiency, renewal energy, and CO2 capture and storage. Few have been utilized a
human-centric approach for resolution. Nevertheless, the origin of these energy-related
problems comes from the industrial development dated in the eighteen century. Since then,
energy resources have been used heavily to maintain and advance social infrastructure for
human needs, or more precisely human psychological needs. We are motivated by the
aforementioned rationale, and will tackle the CO2 reduction and energy consumption and
conservation issues through the basis of technology-assisted cognition. Behavior studies,
sensing and control technologies and platforms will be developed. The goal is to persuade
users to voluntarily reduce CO2 emission and energy consumption without sacrificing their
psychological needs. In a long run, this fundamental change of mind and behavior is expected
to be the most cost-effective mean with a persistent impact.
Human activities can be broadly divided into indoor and outdoor activities. In this study,
four sub-studies will be conducted to support the development of persuasive technologies for
CO2 reduction and energy conservation; these include: (1) human behavior studies, (2)
persuasive technologies for home and working space, (3) CO2 reduction map and (4) wireless
sensing network and energy harvesting technologies. By integrating these efforts and
conducting evidence-based studies at the OpenLab in the NTU Insight Center, new Civil
Engineering building at NTU and outdoor areas surrounding the NTU campus, fruitful
outcomes and impacts are expected. The immediate technology outputs include 16 journal
papers, 8 patents and 3 technology transfers. The short-term social and economical outcomes
include: (1) strategy recommendation for policy making, (2) reduction of 1000 kWh
electricity and 600 kg CO2 emission per capital, (3) greening and sustainable urban
development through the CO2 reduction map. The long-term social and economical impacts
include scalable electricity reduction and CO2 emission reduction and identification of killer
applications for technology advances. Meanwhile, the developed persuasive technologies can
be adopted by other disciplines to foster future cognition-based applications.
