User-centric energy awareness

As we explored in the previous section, optimizing the user journey and making more effective use of digital resources can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our digital products. Building on this foundation, designers can guide users toward adopting more energy-efficient behaviors through intuitive design cues. By offering options that illuminate the impact of their choices, users can optimize their energy consumption, thereby reducing their carbon footprint—all without compromising the quality of their experience.

Designing with the user’s needs and environmental impact in mind involves creating interfaces that not only encourage but also facilitate energy-efficient behavior. This approach leverages the power of UX design to subtly influence user habits and preferences toward greater sustainability. For instance, designers can integrate features that provide real-time feedback on the energy implications of certain actions,...
