- This paper, cited by national and international authors specialising in sustainable design (USA), makes the case that domestic IT often supports impactful media watching, with in some cases ‘configurations around constellations’ of devices having substantial direct energy impacts. We also compare direct energy to the embodied carbon footprint of the devices, which is typically neglected in discussions of energy efficiency, arguing for complete/ holistic studies. This work led to further and more detailed studies of media consumption and energy (PhD, Widdicks; 2 CHI papers in 2017 & 2019); and fed into a recent report commissioned for the Royal Society (2020).
